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]
Hell hath no fury like a tyrant scorned.
This is gonna be worth watching.
Nobody is going to put their political career on the line to vote for masks or anything else.
Rule by mandate in NY is finished.
This should be the end of passports.
Except the Illinois Passports …
No-doubt funded by the Beijing Biden Administration
… Discoverable after, say, 75 years?
its not going away that easy
way too much money invested
Yeah, but now Soros and his minions are going to have to buy more people. Soros is probably making bank right now shorting the market on Ukraine war jitters. It pays to be on the inside.
Your words to God’s ears.
I sure hope you’re right!
What’s worse than a tyrant scorned is a citizenry deceived!
With respect JD, there is no fury as that of an awakened momma bear who’s learned her precious cubs have been put in danger…
As an update to this (yesterday’s) thread, I’ve been in contact with family, friends and loved ones with school aged humans here in LI NY. TO A ONE, they are overjoyed about this decision!
The tide hs changed, and these parents WILL NOT take their foot off the pedal now. Not after seeing their own children with smiles of joy for attending school WITHOUT a mask! Such a wonderful sight to see unbridled happiness in school children again!!!
Yet, in a certain other LI school districts, children are being suspended for conscientiously NOT wearing masks, despite the ‘mandate’ being shown illegal. I can assure y’all: the school officials who are suspending students for NOT wearing a mask are gonna have h-e-hockey stix to pay, once the wrath of the momma bears and poppa lions is set upon them…
Godspeed Patriot Parents!!!
Good news indeed. Just noting that in New York, the Supreme Court is the trial court level. The equivalent to the US Supreme Court is called the Court of Appeals.
Great news.
I didn’t know this about the power of the courts. We had two of these in our family. One was a political appointment to finish a vacated term, who then lost in the election…Westchester County.
Doesn’t matter. This is an injunction. The Governor is enjoined.
That is an important point.
Two levels of appeal upcoming in the NY court system.
Constitutional Lawyer KrisAnn Hall reminds us to name these pronouncements as JUDICIAL OPINIONS – not rulings.
This is a ruling . It is an injunction. Read it. The Governor is hereby enjoined. It is an opinion too, of course, but they issued an “Order” enjoining the Governor which is a ruling.
Wrong. This is a ruling.
That is very good. I find it interesting that the Dems keep pushing this stuff by executive fiat rather than through legislation. I think they know the support just isn’t there, but it’s easy to make unilateral mandates with a complicit press backing your every move.
And it takes months/years to get through the courts and stop it.
It also is getting people used to the idea of being ruled by administrative fiat.
Praise God! Maybe we really are seeing leaks in the dam.
Doubt it. Thé state legislature can turn it into law.
The state legislature may be more sensitive to their citizens’ outrage.
That’ll be a first.
Not if the elections are hacked like usual.
That’s the whole point. If the citizens of NY are demanding safety over liberty, they will be clamoring at their legislature to make the law. In fact, they have had 2 years to cover this gap in the executive branch’s powers. That they did NOT, in all this time, tells me that the representatives are NOT going to do so now. It is political suicide in an election year.
. . .At a time in which the danger is seen to be waning.
Praise God!! I’ve been praying and this is answered prayer.
if parents wants to vaxxed their children, go for it. Just like Dr Malone said, you will be caring for your children in long term.
And all these A-holes on TV and social media will treat them like DIRT for complaining about their vax injuries. If their lives are turned upside down, they will get zero sympathy from any of these branch Covidians that they foolishly tried to please.
Here is a post from me earlier in the day today on masking: https://tritorch.com/legion
I want to apologize for posting off topic earlier today in the Canadian trucker thread, I will not do that again. Also, I want you to know that I asked the moderator to remove that off topic post, but they never did.
Can’t speak for the mods, but we all do that on occasion. Bless you for your caring.
That is very kind, thank you Bad Dog!
griever, The moderators are busy working overtime on the comments being placed into moderation.
The last meme on that link is interesting. Thanks for the link.
Interesting, I have noticed that every comment seems to be getting moderated now, so that makes sense.
Thank you for your compliment on the link
No worries! What’s a little mis-posting among friends?
Yes…Good news…however…I don’t trust the “legislative body” of NY for anything…not out of the woods yet…
Your concerns are valid. People downthread don’t seem to have read the article. This can be reversed by the guv reimposing a state of emergency (which has expired) or the legislature enacting into law.
This ruling isn’t about siding with the people or other subjective criteria. The ruling reflects examination of current rules, regulations and laws and whether they were followed. The governor can easily correct this error and is probably looking into this now. This could only be a temporary reprieve until corrective actions are taken.
It certainly is nice to finally start seeing some things turn our way! Hope it continues big time!
Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. A liberal NY Judge stopped all the COVID related gubernatorial mandates in NY, requiring legislative action from here on out? God works in mysterious ways.
Nassau County voted Republican in the last election. The County Executive out there refused to enforce the Governor’s mask mandate.
A bit of background on the NY court system. The Supreme Court, despite its name, is not the highest court. This is a trial level decision, far as I can tell. The highest court is actually the Court of Appeals, which sounds like an intermediate level court, but it’s not. The Appellate Division is the intermediate level.
Thanks, to you and Tall Texan. I was a scientist so you folks providing information on how the legal system is “supposed’ to work keeps me from feeling like an idiot when discussing these decisions.
Saying that, I would be glad to answer any questions you may have about the “jab” however; since you are here you should already have a fairly good assessment of what it is.
Regardless, it is still a positive ruling IMHO.
Yes; the system in NY state is atypically name. The Supreme Court is the trial level in each county.
The final say, the big guys are the Court of Appeals.
It ain’t over in the cesspool they call the apple.

Don’t you worry New York hochul will get on that executive order and give those powers back to herself immediately.
Now if only IL republicunts would get off their butts and do the same thing against the Prickster
To dream the impossible dream🤔🤔😁.
Just Saying.
Going to be hard to keep in mind — legislators are NOT NOT NOT elected in NY! All controlled vote rigging.
Wait until we ACTUALLY get one — a legislature ACTUALLY selected by the electorate.
This is a good ruling but the Dems rule NY. They will get what they want.
LMAO – if anyone does not know what I mean, ask a younger person.
I would say Hooray, but since the legislature has a Democrat majority?
I’m sure that there will a lot of water-bottle clutching going on. What will BLM and Antifa do without masks?
I wish California would do the same.
Not only is big pharma making a killing, so are the attorneys. ALL of the attorneys.
Sad that our system operates like this, but this is the world we have. Good for NY, I hope those folks can get back to their lives soon.
Don’t forget all the legislators who also have their hands in this trough as well.
Ohio legislators eventually heard the people and took away mikee dewhines power to impose masking which is good because he has stated he would do it again if he had the power.
I wonder what will the NY legislature do with this hot potato?
Tyrants will abuse all given authority to the furthest extent possible. For the greater good, of course.
NY Gov. Hochul will have to take this case to a higher level of Botox.
😂
Busted.
A big yawn.
“…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. ”
Imposing the commie agenda has never been based upon constitutional, statutory or lawful authority. Why would they stop now?
The ruling does, however, give the resistance grounds to resist.
Better late than never … closing the barn door after the horses have romped all over since December … the current emergency declaration was due to expire next week … all these petty tyrants are drunk on all these emergencies, down to every local level.
The Governess looked surprised at the ruling 🙂 /s
What? No more sadistic smile??
THEY been screwing us for two years…THEY just like the Federal administration, can ignore judicial ruling, especially School boards
“Not to worry, comrades — SCOTUS will rule that State Supreme Courts have no standing. Next!”
I wonder if that still leaves local cities, counties, or towns the authority to issue mandates of their own, as our city (in MA, not NY) has done. Anyone know?
today is Monday
This is what fat boy Pritzker is doing in IL. His emergency powers expire April 9, 2020 but the cowardly legislative refuses to reign him in.
Greg Abbott had to be reminded of his limits too.
When salon owner Shelley Luther ended up in the slammer because stylists were seeing customers and then she would not wallow and beg for forgiveness from a judge, the fiasco backfired on Abbott. The attorney who took Ms. Luther’s case was a committeeman on the State Republican Executive Committee. Abbott’s initial COVID disaster authority had expired. Any further use of disaster powers had to come from the legislature. Oops.
Even Lt Governor Dan Patrick was so ticked about the foolishness that he jumped in and offered to pay Ms. Luther’s expenses.
This happened in my state as well, but even Judges are telling prospective jurors that they must mask up. The AG fought against mask mandates. The State Legislature passed a law against it and yet they do it anyway.
Only to those who willingly comply, in reality.
do not comply do not be a juror this is SAND-(WAR)
I had to go to jury duty back in November. Everyone there was wearing a mask but me. I walked into the courtroom and a lady said “You need to have a mask on!” I didn’t know this lady as I couldn’t see her face. She is giving me orders I doubt it. I told her I don’t wear a mask.
Then a man, I’m guessing the prosecutor but I don’t know because I couldn’t see his face said “You need to wear a mask!” I told him I was not going to wear a mask. He asked me to step outside of the courtroom so I did.
The man came out and said again I needed to wear a mask. I told him I was summoned to jury duty and I was ready to go but I was not going to wear a mask.
i was dismissed from jury duty at that point and was told I could leave.
SEXIST!!!!!!!
Most folks Upstate haven’t been paying much attention to these “instructions,” as far as I can see.
Best wishes to the New York branches of the tree house.
What, say the pols, we should follow the law?
This is the perfect example of our constitutional republic and separation of powers at work. No other country has this form or government.
Thank God I immigrated to America. We are worth fighting for.
The countdown starts now . The elitists pig ruling class are going to stat falling like dominos! Yea for the White Hats

Sneakers or no sneakers Kathy, you cannot force living, breathing people (which includes children) to wear face coverings that stop their ability to communicate, breathe and discharge germs and bacteria from their bodies, as designed by God!
Keep pushing your tyrannical powers and see what happens in the long-term.
To good to be true
” neither the governor nor the state health commissioner had the authority to enact the mandate without the state legislature”
Anyone know if the legislature was pushing back? Or are they just useless meat sacks like far too many?
Voters in Pennsylvania took away the governor’s power to issue endless emergency orders. Emergency orders are limited to 3 weeks and can only be extended by the state legislature. This is why Wolf has given up on more fascism. But he tried to use the State Department of Health to do a run around on the new limits, and they issued a masking order. But the PA Supreme Court struck it down and ruled that the Dept of Health doesn’t have the power to make these type of orders. Good to see even northeastern blue/purple states getting some law and order back from out of control fascist governors.
HA take that Gov. TyranHochul! And your necklace is grotesque.
Thank you, Judge Rademaker.
This freak is what you get when you combine Hillary’s cheeks and Nancy’s eyebrows.
what the chance the employer mandate gets scrapped on the same level
winning….winning …winning.
that makes 3 key court cases that slammed down these insanely unconstitutional mandates.
a long way to go, but we can see there is a path forward.
this is very good news.
of course it will be appealed..of course it will. maybe. It’s also possible this administration is at such a losing rate in major court cases and their numbers have collapsed below the waterline, they might think twice about the embarassment of another public defeat.
the people are watching.
TheyWILL triple down. it’s what corrupt tyrants do. Why: there is no personal accountability. they can used it as a political talking point. (see those deplorables, intentionally killing people!)
watch for it..again…and again…and again.
there are in a corner. It’s all failure going forward..there isn’t anything they can do to improve reputation…They snuffed themselves out.
I’ll dance on their graves..
Hochul is awash with her unelected powers. However, she is up for election this time so she might decide to moderate for now. But doubt it.
And Virginia will help lead the way as well.

Elections have consequences. And now God is making sure of it.
Stand up. Stand fast. Keep the faith. In God We Trust.
With God, all things are possible.

They are giving us small wins. Before they release Ebola or it’s similar cousin.
We can give them “small wins” right back. Two can play this game. And we the people are done with all this horse pucky.
next UP?
palin’s suit against NTimes. She might just win. It’s a tough call, but it has wheels. The malice has to be proven and that’s a high bar, but it’s possible the court rules in her favor. There are lots of reasons to believe it will make a narrow ruling in her favor.
also this case coming up:
O’keefe has a case against him, apparently charged with accessory after the fact. They prosecution will HAVE TO PROVE his was involved in the theft of stolen material. I seriously doubt the court rules in favor of the prosecution. if so, every single reporter at wapost and nyt should also be charged with a crime…multiple times to printing “stolen” material…Again, we WILL REVISIT the charges alleged towards Assange.
we are watching KEY CASES in a stream of rebukes against the tyranny of radical prosecution of innocent citizens.
the levy has topped….
stage 3 advances.
soon, stage 4.
God Bless America
