A late-night order from a federal appeals court Saturday dealt a major setback to Florida’s effort to lift restrictions the federal government imposed on the cruise ship industry in order to prevent outbreaks of the coronavirus.
A panel of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals voted, 2-1, to stay an order a federal judge in Tampa issued last month blocking the Centers for Disease Control’s framework for allowing cruises to resume. The cruise business was abruptly shuttered by federal order in March 2020 following a series of mass infections aboard large ships.
The appeals court’s one-page order, issued just before midnight Saturday, offered no explanation for the decision beyond saying the federal government had made “the requisite showing” to obtain a stay allowing the CDC rules to remain in effect. The panel did indicate that one judge dissented.

Florida Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico beaches have lovely warm salt water this time of year.
Oh yeah voting by mail to continue through November 2022.
Why stay in a cramped cruise ship cabin when you can stay in a large Florida hotel room?
The 11th circuit has slid a long ways in 20 years. Now they are just another corrupt political court with no interest in the actual law.
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
Since the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification courts have repeatedly shown that they cannot be trusted to police the federal government’s actions against its constitutionally limited powers, the states need to amend the Constitution to require the following for all court decisions.
The new constitutional amendment(s) should require judges to promptly and publicly clarify constitutional clauses to justify any decision that favors the federal government for further scrutiny of the constitutional integrity of the decision, and possible removal from the bench of the institutionally indoctrinated judges who made the decision. Activist law school professors need to be exposed and appropriately dealt with too.
In fact, the states should consider constitutionally authorizing state legislatures to remove any elected or non-elected federal official from office on 3/4 state supermajority vote.
Finally for now, judges also need to specify constitutional personal protections clauses when deciding personal rights cases to help prevent desperate career federal Democrats and RINOs from making constitutionally indefensible civil rights laws to help get themselves get reelected.
Insights welcome.
