Airlines are now scientists. A conspiracy that only the weak minded would believe.
Thanks for posting.

Time for one more masking opinion, post Health Freedom Defense Fund?
From Jeffrey A. Tucker at the Brownstone Institute, entitled The Unmasking of America:
Link to the 59 page PDF decision is embedded.

Of course they will. They are butthurt that a “Young woman” told them they have been wrong.
the appeal came right after Biden said it’s up to each person what they do. He not on the same page, again.
why can’t the Democrat led Congress just pass a law for it?

If you say so
Do you have some anger built inside you? You can’t debate? You would rather just insult people personally? Why? It’s not that serious, really. Relax.

This judge got the lowest rating from the ABA ,not qualified

Not until this last post you didn't.
Seems you have more intelligence than this guy who was genuinely surprised by it:

I did answer and once again, leave the emotion aside, Strange. I did think they would appeal, of course, THIS WH would, but it's ok, let them, the law and luck are not with them on this one.
Strangerland
And again you answer a question that wasn't asked, to avoid answering the one that was.
The question was, did you think that they would not appeal this decision?
bass4funk
Of course, they have the right to appeal, but they're probably not going to win because Biden doesn't have a mandate. it's unconstitutional at this point and the CDC is not a sidearm of the White House to dictate what we can or cannot wear. See the videos of people on various planes cheering that this is over. I mean, this is the reason why so many go the shot and the death rates are going down even if the infection rate is high, we don't need to worry so much about the virus, more than half of the country got the shot. But let them apply, if Biden and his team really want to further damage their prospects of keeping the House, this is the very occasion to start.

I don’t wear a mask because maskwearers are 100% safe. Great to fly again.

They can, but at this point, people are just not going to comply anymore and as the midterms approach you will see more of these dreaded mandates go away, but it won't be enough to save the Democrat party. So if the Dems want to try and stay in power and show that they can govern and listen to their constituents then they will drop all mandates and move to the center of politics on every issue, if they don't then their political doom is assured. They need to make a decision.
Strangerland
You seem surprised Did you think that they wouldn't appeal?
Skeptical
This just in. “The US Department of Justice and the CDC announced that they will appeal the decision, "subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary" while the CDC "assessed current public health conditions."
Judging from many of today's headlines, it's going to be very difficult trying to stuff this genie back in the bottle, now that it's out.
bass4funk
Finally sanity has prevailed, watch the people in power try to challenge this ruling because they can’t lose power, these mandates help keep them in power and helps them to weed out people they don’t like or agree with.

And I was told here that I would never travel again without being vaccinated. Don’t even need to wear a mask anymore and vaccine mandates illegal too.
I like how when it’s a ruling liberals don’t like they just decide to ”wait and see” didn’t you hear the judge?
Bob Fosse
It must be awful to be constantly terrified by your own imagination. I couldn’t live like that.

I'm in British Colombia right now.

Yeah, Canada has been very responsible with their covid response. It's why they saw low deaths, limited lockdowns, and minor impact to their economy. And now they're opened back up, while still being responsible and requiring masks on flights.
A model to the world.
The Avenger
I plan to mask if I ever can afford a plane ride again…
Strangerland
What about them? No mask mandates here in Canada mate. Not even vaccine passports anymore. There are literally no Covid requirements where I'm staying right now.

Things like this should be anticipated whenever the executive choses to exercise power that was not granted by the legislative, in a manner inconsistent with the executive's mandated administrative procedures act.
To be precise, in the US, most constitutional powers are vested by the people through an elected congress. Which in turn may delegate it's authority to the executive. The laws that it has passed concerning the powers surounding communicable disease are limited in subject and scope; the rest are held in reserve to the states through the acknowledged exercise of their police powers.
The laws that the congress did pass were stretched well beyond their intent by this executive, in a number of ways, the transportation mandate being just one. Instead of going to the congress for the authority - which it should have done - , the executive decided to do it all by decree.
Many US states chose the proper path; their governors possess the police power to initiate and enforcement public health orders, but are being required to renew such orders on a periodic basis by the legislature.
Any mishmash must be faulted back to the executive branch that decided to exceed the authority vested by the people in the legislative branch.
Sorry. Do it right the next time.
