Doesn’t anyone have to prove that masks are in any measure effective for the purposes intended?

IANAL but my guess is no. School districts do not have to prove that students wearing spaghetti strap tops or saggy pants disrupt the learning environment, so they can just treat masks as part of their dress code.

Whenever there are so many negatives in a headline I get confused but ‘mask mandate’ ‘ban’ followed by ‘unconstitutional’ and I had no idea which way it went till I read the article. Is that just me?

Not just you. I also had to reread the headline to make sense of it.

What is unconstitutional is forcing someone to wear them.

This raises an interesting question. Are school uniforms also unconstitutional? What about "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" policies adopted by many private businesses? School dress codes in general? IANAL but it seems to me schools and businesses have been mandating the attire of their students, staff, and customers for quite some time without anyone claiming it was unconstitutional.

As I read that ruling, the judge did not address the mask issue itself, but rather that the law which passed the ban on mandates was too much of a hodge-podge of unrelated issues, and stopped there.

That’s what I read as well.

States cannot make rules that cities and school districts
have to abide by now? It’s unconstitutional if they do?


THE FOLLOWING IS THE REASON THE JUDGE SAYS THE MEASURES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL:

Section 13
Text of Section 13:
Subject and Title of Bills

“ Every act shall embrace but one subject and matters properly connected therewith, which subject shall be expressed in the title; but if any subject shall be embraced in an act which shall not be expressed in the title, such act shall be void only as to so much thereof as shall not be embraced in the title.[1][2] ”


Looks like the specific content of the law was not at issue in the ruling, but rather that by having so many unrelated pieces of law it violated the State Constitution which requires those things be broken out into specific subjects.

We are not talking about appearance here. We are talking about health. And the fact is that the masks provide no protection from a virus and yet they damage the body and health by depriving it of oxygen and forcing you to breath CO2. You better hope that you have right to not comply with that. Pursuit of life and liberty.

Thank you Lepton.

That’s a reasoned response.

One thing that really peeves me, is when our side goes to all
this trouble knowing what the rules are, violates them, and
defeats the intended purpose. Makes you wonder if it’s
intentional or not. Do they even give a darn?

So the basis of her decision is akin to misspelling a word?

What Tripe.

Without religion, the people in robes become the high priests and priestesses in our Society.


And thus become a RELIGION of Government.

How quickly do we forget that the Holy Roman Catholic Church (Catholic Religion) was deeply embedded within the government. In fact, the government answered to the Church before the People. And now you know the rest of the story...

Without religion, the world might have been better off.

All falls back to the Roman Empire when the Catholic Priests determined they had to have the same ornaments and dress of the Roman Government.....they wanted to be recognized as elite as the Roman Senate.

It still goes on today.
