Abbott's Mask Mandate Attack Suffers Yet Another Blow, This Time From Texas Supreme Court

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The hits keep coming.

The Texas Supreme Court, made up entirely of Republican justices, on Thursday rejected Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) request for intervention as county and school district officials in some of the states’ biggest counties went ahead and established mask mandates for students and school staff this week despite Abbott’s ban on schools and local authorities passing mask requirements.

The Supreme Court’s ruling temporarily gives those local officials the green light to maintain their mandates as Abbott and state officials continue to fight them in court.

AUSTIN (Texas Tribune) — The Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocked San Antonio’s mask mandate for public schools Thursday — the latest in the tug-of-war legal battle between local governments and the state’s Republican leadership over mandatory face coverings.

It feels personal.
