The CDC Decides The Science (TM) Says There's an Emergency In the Skies Requiring Continued Mandatory Masking (But No Emergency on the Ground Necessitating Speedy Deportation of Illegal Aliens, Strangely Enough)No one in the Weekend At Biden's Administration wants to take the blame for foisting this unpopular policy on the American public, so everyone passed the buck. When they passed it to the CDC, the CDC was caught flat-footed and had to look at The Science (TM). One suspects they were not analyzing the "science," but once again, consulting with "stakeholders" and politicians about the politics of it: Can we afford to piss off the Krazy Kovid Karens, the only cohort in America that still supports Biden by majority numbers? Well, now they've gotten a chance to do their homework and they say yes, we're still in an emergency, but only as far as Americans infecting Americans, and Americans will have to wears masks on planes, but I guess we can still suspend Title 42 as far as illegal aliens sneaking across the border. The Centers for Disease Control officially asked the Department of Justice to appeal a ruling by a federal judge in Florida earlier this week that struck down the Biden administration's mask mandate for travel. Here's the trouble with this decision: Just a couple of weeks ago, when Biden was thinking about merely asking for an extension of the still-in-place airline mask mandate, people like Kirsten Sinema and a lot of of Republicans asked Problematic Questions like, "If Covid is still an emergency in the American Skies, why is it not an emergency on the Mexican Border?"
ChuckGrassley Jim Risch Senator John Thune He's not the real POTUS but point taken. This question becomes much more acute now that the Weekend at Biden's Administration isn't just seeking a two week extension in the policy, but taking the dramatic move of going to court to re-assert its dubious authority to impose it. As Ed "No Link" Morrissey wrote a week or so ago, when it was just an extension in play: The move by the CDC to extend the mask mandates on airplanes while simultaneously providing Biden cover for opening the border will likely be the last straw. There is simply no way to defend both recommendations at the same time. American levels of vaccination in the population (as well as immunity by exposure) outstrip the Central American countries that comprise most of the border surge. If the pandemic is still acute enough to warrant imposing masks on all travelers inside the US, why would we risk allowing travelers outside the US with unknown vaccination and exposure statuses to enter without restriction? On what "science" would that be based -- other than "political" science, the kind most often practiced at the CDC? It wouldn't be a story without Grandpa Felonyfingers becoming cringily confused about the issue. Asked about suspending the repeal of Title 42's provision about deporting illegal aliens, Biden gets confused and starts talking about the mask mandate -- authority for which is claimed to be granted by a different part of Title 42 -- and says he's waiting for "strong science" to tell him whether or not to appeal. But he was asked if he was going to delay the repeal of Title 42, not whether he was going to appeal the mask mandate.
If nothing else, that really demonstrates that these two issues are inexplicably linked, and that you can't claim there's an emergency for one part of Title 42 but no emergency for another part of Title 42. I wonder if the Weekend at Biden's Administration will seek to not really appeal the decision by not seeking a stay of the judge's decision while it appeals. That is, usually, they would seek a stay of the ruling during the appeal, meaning, the judge's ruling would be held in abeyance and the mask mandate would be back in effect while the appeal process goes forward. But maybe they won't file to stay the ruling -- maybe they'll leave the ruling in place, and the mask mandate therefore ruled illegal, while they appeal, so that it will only be back in effect if and when they win their appeal. I bet they might just do that! Meanwhile, in the only place in America at which free speech still exists -- city council open hearings-- Prime Time #99 Alex Stein shares his thoughts on airline masking. He's outraged he won't be forced to wear a mask any longer. And he's specifically mad at Dallas' mayor, who refused to wear a mask in an airport. For those who aren't acquainted with Alex Stein #99 Prime Time yet, he's spoofing the left. He's a guest of Tucker Carlson now. Not really related, but another guy addressed the Frisco, Texas city council meeting. Pretty sure this is a prank. Pretty sure. You know, it's harder and harder to tell anymore.
I think the part where he claims that schools should pass out molotov cocktails to throw at cop cars in honor of George Floyd puts this in the "prank" category. But you never know. | Recent Comments
