This is a very good thing. A New York State Supreme Court has blocked the unilateral state-wide mask mandate of Governor Kathy Hochul and state Health Commissioner Basset. The legal reasoning is very important. NY Supreme Court Ruling HERE.
The authority of the New York governor and health commissioner, provided by the declaration of a state emergency, has expired. With that expiration any/all mandates from the office are invalid; all requirements for public health -such as the mask mandate- MUST come from the legislative body.
According to the ruling, Judge Thomas Rademaker said that neither the governor nor the state health commissioner had the authority to enact the mandate without the state legislature, since the governor no longer has emergency powers. [full pdf here]
the governor of Nuevo York has a really scary-looking face-looks like it’s plastic.
No. Probably over botoxed.
Pray. Walk by faith, not by sight.
Oops!
New Governor oversteps her powers!
Invades personal rights!
Where did she believe she had such far reaching powers not granted to her?
Inquiring minds want to know.
All the Blue state govorners conspired to do the same things. When will some group sue all the governors that enacted mandates without legislative approval. Likely it is against the law in all states. So is conspiracy.
The Illinois Supreme Court needs to strike down the governor’s perpetual mask mandate in Illinois which has also exceeded the legal timeframe of its original executive order. Of course, I’m not following the mask mandate in Illinois anyway.
There are very few businesses in my part of Illinois near St. Louis that are enforcing masks on their customers and many customers no longer wear masks. Unfortunately, many businesses are still enforcing masks on their employees.
The schools are the worst in that the overwhelming majority are still forcing masks on students and staff. I consider the forced masking of children to be child abuse. On the plus side, there is a lot of pushback against mask school mask mandates and a current lawsuit against them being argued by attorney Tom DeVore.
Most medical providers are also still forcing masks on their patients and staff, but I’m lucky that my dentist is not.
There is some semblance of sanity in this world. Amazing!
Another Governor with the Dictator Spirit. This time a woman reeling like a drunk on her punitive words. She has uncovered herself. We’re grateful.
So Turkey neck doesn’t agree with the Judge so she’s going to find a work around. Isn’t that just like a democrat.
I’m sure We the people can find a work around to end her right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Violate the Constitution lose the right to be protected by it.
The Supreme Court of the State of New York is the trial-level court of general jurisdiction in the New York State Unified Court System. (Its Appellate Division is also the highest intermediate appellate court.) It is vested with unlimited civil and criminal jurisdiction, although in many counties outside New York City it acts primarily as a court of civil jurisdiction, with most criminal matters handled in County Court.[1]
The court is radically different from its counterparts in nearly all other states in that the Supreme Court is a trial court and is not the highest court in the state. The highest court of the State of New York is the Court of Appeals. Also, although it is a trial court, the Supreme Court sits as a “single great tribunal of general state-wide jurisdiction, rather than an aggregation of separate courts sitting in the several counties or judicial districts of the state.”[2] The Supreme Court is established in each of New York’s 62 counties
Her and Pelosi must use the same clown make up artist. The one who paints eyebrows halfway up the forehead.
The Premier of Нью-Йорк will ignore the ruling, of course.
She and Pelosi must go to the same salon. What a ‘surprise’.
