TALLAHASSEE — In Florida’s latest salvo against the Biden administration over COVID-19 restrictions, Attorney General Ashley Moody on Tuesday filed a lawsuit challenging requirements that people wear masks in airports and on planes, trains and buses.

Moody, joined by attorneys general from 20 other states, filed the lawsuit in federal court in Tampa. In part, it contends that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has overstepped its legal authority in requiring masks for travelers.

“Faced with a government that displays outright disdain for the limits on its power — especially when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic — plaintiffs seek vacatur of that mask mandate and a permanent injunction against its enforcement,” the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit was the latest move by Moody and Gov. Ron DeSantis — and Republican leaders in other states — to fight Biden administration regulations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

6. The timing is...weird

The mask mandate was imposed in 2020 by the Trump Administration. It will probably be lifted on April 26, 2022 - that's their current target date. I really want to know what took them so long to file this suit, because the way court cases kinda meander through the legal system, by the time a judge gets hold of this suit it'll be moot because the mandates will be long gone.

7. The sane ones can continue to wear masks

and the ones that want to go unmasked, and prove Darwin's theory, can get sick and die..........

We could make up stickers, and place them on their gravestones: Darwin Award Member.........

Has anyone been reading about what is happening over in China, Deja Vue all over again......

8. I have to fly through Miami

two weeks from today on my way to Bonaire. First flight since coming home from Bonaire in March 2020. I'm not looking forward to the travel. Hopefully, no maskholes on my flights.
