WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is filing an appeal seeking to overturn a judge’s order that voided the federal mask mandate on planes, trains and travel hubs, officials said Wednesday.

It came minutes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asked the Justice Department to appeal the decision handed down by a federal judge in Florida earlier this week.
A notice of appeal was filed in federal court in Tampa.
The CDC said in a statement on Wednesday that it is its “continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health.”
The CDC said it will continue to monitor public health conditions to determine if a mandate would remain necessary. It said it believes the mandate is “a lawful order, well within CDC’s legal authority to protect public health.”
Better said : The corrupt criminal DOJ
That’s amazing news! I’m so happy to hear that I hope this way that they’re shooting themselves in the foot and people will start voting for republicans
Disband the CDC.
The federal government loves power. They won’t just allow a judge to take power away from them.
Of course, they have to appeal.
They should just take the lose and move on, they will lose on appeal, and alienate even more people, just in time for elections, only moronic covid panic porners like Stevenn want the mandates, the rest celebrate the end of it.
The court they are appealing to is quite conservative. The chance of them winning this appeal is slim, and in any case, will take some time to even be ruled on. Most people agree with ending the mandatory mask mandate on planes.
No more masks…if an individual still chooses to wear one they are free to do so.
Save face legal gymnastics.
Even if they appeal and win it’s over. Once people take off masks on planes they can’t reinstate it. The masses won’t listen. In yeshiva the rebbe use to say once there is a rifon it’s over. Stevenn should go live in China where they lock you up good if you get covid. He loves that
Don’t be fooled. They don’t want to win. But this way they play both sides of the fence.
We tried but failed to repeal, oh well…..
The CDC and the rest of this NWO-democrat administration should go visit Shanghai together – and stay locked up there with their masks in place.
Great news! And I hope they’re expert medical advice prevails!
