Long Island judge rules Gov. Hochul’s mask mandate as ‘unlawful’

A Long Island judge ruled against Gov. Kathy Hochul’s controversial mask mandate on Monday — in a move that could lead to the lifting of similar orders in schools across the state.

Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Thomas Rademaker threw out a Nov. 24 rule issued by Health Commissioner Mary Bassett that led Hochul to order businesses without mandatory vaccination policies to require that all workers, customers and guests wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Thomas Rademaker said the rule amounted to “a law that was promulgated and enacted unlawfully by an Executive branch state agency, and therefore void and unenforceable as a matter of law.”

And as a result, Rademaker said, the mask mandate Hochul announced on Dec. 10 “must fail as violative of the State Administrative Procedure Act.”

The  Dec. 28 suit was brought “on behalf of all minor school children and persons similarly situated.”

At least for now, school children in Nassau County, NY, should be liberated from the oppressive mask-muzzle rules.

We, here in Texas, have no silly China Virus "mandates" at all. No masks (but you are free to wear one if you want), no vax (unless you want), schools wide open... stores, restaurants, beaches, etc all wide open. (And Texas is 38th in COVID deaths per/100,000 population.) Watching the COVID tyranny in blue states on TV is like looking at an old war movie where the government forced you how to live.
