In this episode, Robert Fojo discusses the April 18 federal court decision from Florida that declared a regulation issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requiring masks in airports, train stations, and other transportation hubs and public conveyances in the United States exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority (as well as violated the procedures for agency rulemaking under the Administrative Procedures Act), including the legal reasoning behind the decision, the background of the judge -- Kathryn Kimball Mizelle (a Trump appointee) -- who wrote the decision, the media's attacks on Judge Mizelle, and the continuing trend in court decisions invalidating mask and vaccine mandates for lack of statutory authority.
