Do Democrats care about Covid "health" issues?

[DGS49]

We now have the bizarre and unseemly situation of a single Federal District Court judge making policy for the entire United States with respect to compulsory mask-wearing in public transportation.

Democrats - particularly Democrats in the Biden Administration - appear to be taking a virtual hissy fit and are keen to get the mandates back, as well as getting clarification that the CDC has the legitimate power to make such edicts.

And yet...

Democrats control both the Congress and the White House, don't they? How much trouble would it be to craft a two-paragraph piece of legislation clarifying the point, with immediate effect? Start in the House, pass it, send it to the Senate, pass it, then send to Sleepy Joe's desk. Wake him up long enough to sign it, and it's a done deal.

I don't know the legislative protocols and what I'm suggesting may not be practical, but it seems to me that they should be able to get the couple of Democrat mavericks on board for this little thing...maybe even get a few Republican votes.

Do they really want this? Doesn't look like it.

Because Congress is broken

Mitch McConnell knows he can effectively block any legislation but that the Courts belong to him

Hissy Fit? This is the first thread I've seen on the topic.

Absolutely not. They used it to hurt a lot of children, businesses, and a national psyche

The new congress needs to put this near the top of the many investigations to happen

May GD all of these people

Democrats use anything they can in order to get elected because once they are elected, they become fabulously wealthy through politics.

It doesn't matter whether it is covid, race pimping, trotting out little autistic Swedish troll children or anything else -- they don't care about the actual issue or seek to alleviate any of the problems associated with it. They care about getting elected.

The mask mandates were due to end in a couple of weeks anyway.

The federal judge seems to be out of bounds, making health decisions for the whole nation instead of the CDC which was created by congress to do that job.

The mandates will end regardless.....but the case will still be appealed by the DOJ, to clear up this activist judge's decision to act as a Health official for the whole nation!

The argument made, and accepted by the court, was that the CDC doesn't have the legal authority to order mask mandates.

Why do you, and more important, why does your leader Brandon, think that this is what Congress had in mind when they created the CDC? The CDC never did anything like this before. When aids first became popular, they didn't take it upon themselves to institute regulations against butt sex even when that was determined to be the main cause.

It was unlawful. Why do you accept the fed gov abusing its power? I bet if this didnt line up with your politics, you would be acting differently.
But alas. Here we are. And you are still a hack.

You think butt sex is equivalent to wearing a mask in public places???

Says who? This unqualified judge?

Her so called judgement, will be appealed.... We'll see what happens.

My point is that both ideas, butt sex and not wearing a mask, were associated by experts as the cause of deadly diseases. If the CDC could ban one activity for public health reasons, it goes to logic they could ban the other.

Can you link to where the CDC has power to issue mandates?
You cant because it doesnt exist.
From their OWN website
CDC’s role in rules and regulations
As the nation’s public health protection agency, CDC has certain authorities to implement regulations related to protecting America from health and safety threats, both foreign and within the United States, and increasing public health security.

CDC and other agencies implement public health laws passed by Congress through Federal Regulations. After a Congressional bill becomes law, federal agencies may be responsible for putting the law into action through the development of regulations—also known as “rules.” Federal regulations give the public details or specific requirements of how the law will be applied. The process of creating regulations or rules is called rulemaking.

Do you understand now, or are you going to continue being a hack?

Federal supremacists are completely fucking USELESS

The judgment was based NOT upon the question as to whether mandatory masking is a good idea to promote health and retard the spread of the virus.

It was based upon the idea as to whether the CDC has the authority to order this or not.
