As Scottnoted earlier, Federal Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle has ruled that the CDC’s Mask Mandate for airline and other travel is illegal. Her decision is embedded below.
Judge Mizelle relied on three independent grounds in invalidating the mandate. First, she found that it exceeded the statutory authority that Congress has delegated to CDC under the 1944 Public Health Services Act, 42 U.S.C. § 246(a).

SO happy to hear of the decision!

We are going to Cancun in late October. Driving to Chicago and flying down non-stop. Hopefully stupid stuff doesn’t re-arrive before then. I was not looking forward to wearing a mask on the airline. My son and daughter in law went last December. Had to wear the masks on the airline, thankfully not at the resort.
