Here we go again…when you thought Biden’s cronies are done demonizing the pandemic, well, brace yourself for another wave of mask mandates.
Biden’s regime is always making ways to make American lives more difficult and they always succeed in doing such.
After less than a month of many finally being able to breathe on airplanes, buses, and public transportation, Joe’s Department of Justice has decided to file an appeal to get masks back on our faces.
On Tuesday, Biden’s Justice Department asked a federal appeals court to overturn last month’s court decision by a federal judge that declared the mandate requiring masks on airplanes and other public transportation unlawful.
In a 48-page document filed in the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Justice Department argues that the order issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in early 2021 “falls easily within the CDC’s statutory authority.”
Last month, the Justice Department said that it would appeal U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s decision to strike down the CDC’s mask mandate for public transportation if the agency determines the mandate is still needed to protect public health
WLT commented further:
If you recall, the issue went all the way to federal court where they correctly ruled that the mandates were a violation of American’s fundamental First Amendment rights. It wasn’t just the mask requirement that was at issue. Twitter and other social media platforms are filled with countless videos of law enforcement and social activists using the mandate as a way to harass and mistreat those that chose to go without a mask. It wasn’t about safety, it was clearly about having an excuse and cover for government overreach.
Thankfully, constitutional patriots such as the federal judge in Florida that struck down the mask mandates are not afraid to take a stand.

There was much rejoicing in the aisles of airplanes all over the nation. It was such a momentous occasion that even the Wall Street Journal had to take time away from whatever they were doing to report on it.
Here’s a clip of passengers rejoicing after the CDC finally relented to the judge’s ruling.

Trending Politics has more details of this story:
The Justice Department in April did not ask the court to stay the decision, meaning passengers would be able to continue traveling maskless while the decision is litigated.
“In the day since a federal judge in Florida struck down the CDC’s requirement, numerous airlines and public transit systems have announced that masks were optional,” the report noted about the initial court ruling.
“The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal, subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health,” the Justice Department said at the time in a statement.
The Department of Justice’s timing is interesting because even the New York Times is admitting that mask mandates are not associated with any measurable effect on the spread of Covid-19. Meanwhile, a new study at the Lancet further undermines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s arguments for mask mandates.
WLT added:
Could Joe and the DOJ be pushing this hard to get mask-wearing back in the game before more studies come out further proving the corruption and lack of evidence the CDC has been using to abuse the American people? That could pose a huge political nightmare just months before the November elections.
The good news is that while the courts and the administration hash this out, the mandate is still lifted. For now, Americans are still entitled to their right to make their own decisions regarding mask wearing. Hopefully the courts will stand their ground and back up the freedoms of the American people.
