The religion of the mask is no more, for now anyway. We can all thank US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of Florida for blocking the Biden Administration’s recent 15-day mask mandate requirement. Her ruling came in a case brought by Health Freedom Defense Fund, Inc. and frequent fliers Ana Daza and Sarah Pope. Mizelle ruled that the mandate violated the Administrative Procedure Act by being outside the scope of the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) authority, was “arbitrary” and “capricious,” and not going through the required notice and comment period for federal rulemaking.
At the moment, many Americans on both sides of the aisle are excited that they can rid themselves of the repressive mask. The masks have been part of their lives for nearly two years. While many have taken to throwing the mask in the garbage, left-wing commentators are not happy and vow to continue wearing the mask and hope the Biden Administration will appeal the judge’s decision.
Mizelle was appointed to the bench by President Donald Trump in 2020. She also clerked for Associate Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas.
