Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeals ruling that said he didn't have authority to ban mask mandates in schools

(CNN)Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has appealed a judge's ruling that stated the governor overreached and did not have the authority to ban school districts from implementing mask mandates without a parent opt-out.
The notice to appeal filed Thursday says that "the filing in this Notice triggers an automatic stay pending review," but attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case -- parents from Miami-Dade, Orange, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, Pinellas and Alachua counties -- have filed an emergency notice to vacate the stay.

Thirteen Florida school districts have now implemented a mask mandate, without a parent opt out, defying an earlier executive order by the governor.
The state's appeal comes about a week after Leon County 2nd Judicial Circuit Court Judge John Cooper ruled DeSantis "did not have the authority for a blanket mandatory ban against face mask policy, that does not provide a parental opt-out." The judge signed a written order against the governor's ban on Thursday.
DeSantis' executive order, issued in late July, had directed the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Department of Health to issue emergency rules giving parents a choice on whether their children should wear masks in class.

(21,248 posts)but last night while I was partially sleeping, partially awake, I wondered what our country would become if the GQP takes back control?
This new GQP party will gut the Constitution. How many states will withstand the rigged elections; California, New York, Hawaii?
With gerrymandering finalized this year it will be impossible for Democrats to ever win the House? With the new election voter suppression laws and with GQPers running the elections they can decide who won the Senate races and they can decide which delegates to send to the Electoral college. Once they are in total control, save a couple of states, they can make sure they keep control. They can change voting for president to every 8 years, yeah I know the Constitution says otherwise but they also have a radical Supreme Court.
I dread to think what will happen to America. Roe will certainly be banned. Freedom of speech and of the press will be banned, we will only have Fox News type TV stations and only have Washington Examiner type newspapers. The GQPers will decide what is taught in our schools. Obamacare will be abolished, drug prices will soar. Social Security and Medicare will be made to fail, life expectancy in America will drop below many 3rd world countries. Our environmental laws will be abolished, fossil fuels will make a come back and global warming will ravage the world. Only the 0.1% will live like kings. The serfs who have been brainwashed to serve their masters will create strong militias to beat down any rebellions opposed to the mighty GQP party, heck maybe militias won't be needed, our police forces and military will be converted into pro GQP law enforcement.
Tell me it was all just a dream. Was I really sleeping? Some way some how we need to pass S1.
