The state of Texas has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration seeking to block the federal mask mandate. Background: Last year, President Biden signed an executive order mandating that masks be worn on planes, trains, and in airports. Last month, the Supreme Court rejected a request to block the mandate for travel. What Happened: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Texas Public Policy Foundation filed the lawsuit in Fort Worth on behalf of Rep. Beth Van Duyne. The lawsuit targeted CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, CDC chief of staff Sherri Berger, and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra as defendants. What The Lawsuit Says: The lawsuit wrote that the federal government’s mask mandate is unconstitutional because it goes against an executive order signed by Gov. Gregg Abbott. “The State, through the executive orders of its Governor, has determined that Texans can choose for themselves whether to wear masks and that Texas businesses cannot be required by State or local governmental entities to impose masking requirements,” the lawsuit reads. The suit also questions the effectiveness of the mandate in stopping the spread of COVID-19 noting that the order contains no research or data pointing to the effectiveness of mask wearing. The plaintiffs also argue that federal authorities did not have the authority to enact such a measure. They specifically said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not have the power to make or enforce “blanket preventative measures against people that may or may not carry infectious disease.”

Coming from Texas you would think they would have sued over the illegal open border that’s totally insane.
They are suing over the open border also. Biden lost that round, but is still not following what the court said to do.
BUCK FIDEN !
Illegals are allowed to travel (no immunization passport needed) and now all these illegal immigrants on welfare Biden wants to give them the right to vote offering citizenship????? 🙁 Guess they need all the votes they can get
Why is it they throw a message out like this instead of just acting on it? No one is afraid of ice cream Biden.
Dam Albert hasn’t been seen on any comments lately to bad …..lol maybe he’s got TDS so bad he’s gone insane
Old squint just continues to paint, mindless of the shrinking dry spot behind him in the corner. When things get too hot, his handlers can simply walk away. Hopefully that time is near.
