Of course Kelly's biased but she knows her stuff. And she pointed out the right-leaning 11th Circuit is unlikely to overrule Mizelle, and neither would SCOTUS.
Now we just have to get the CDC to finally admit cloth and surgical masks are totally useless, as almost every RCT and credible study show.
….. favor government intrusion is what can be taught to school children?
Hypocrisy to the 9th power.
It all depends on whether the particular government entity has constitutional authority. C'mom man.

medical expertise to decide when mandates are appropriate to protect the American public...this judge did not even seek CDC input, from what I've heard, and summarily ruled against that organization...to me, if this ruling is allowed to stand, then it becomes a prelude to chaos in any future public health crisis...here's hoping it is overturned.

She finds that the relevant statute does not empower the CDC to impose mask mandates for public transportation. The statue authorizes the CDC to:
“make and enforce such regulations as in his judgment are necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession. For purposes of carrying out and enforcing such regulations, the [CDC] may provide for such inspection, fumigation, disinfection, sanitation, pest extermination, destruction of animals or articles found to be so infected or contaminated as to be sources of dangerous infection to human beings, and other measures, as in his judgment may be necessary.”
Judge Mizelle, granting Summary Judgment, went to great efforts focusing on whether “sanitation” translates to the transportation corridor. In announcing their decision to appeal the ruling, the Department of Justice asserts that Congress did empower the CDC with the authority to impose such regulations in the “transportation” sphere. Let us await the briefings to be filed with the 11th Circuit.
Now to the point of my post. The plaintiffs— Health Freedom Defense Fund — are GOP funded freedom fighters who have filed numerous lawsuits fighting government overreaching and intrusion— namely pandemic related mandates. We can agree to disagree re the merits of their claim. A federal judge has obviously found their claim re mask mandates is meritorious to the point of granting summary judgment. But, the thrust of these lawsuits is aimed at deterring government overreaching upon our lives — a principle that conservatives seem to share.
Except when it comes to school curriculum and school libraries. And gag me with “it’s all about the welfare of our children” nonsense. The Florida legislation (and similar efforts elsewhere) are nothing more than orchestrated political dog whistles — aptly called out by the Michigan state senator and Notre Dame Alum.
Not equivalent. Public schools are an agency of the government, which gets to dictate what gets taught. If parents don't like what their kids are being taught, they have alternatives.

Government does have a role - ideally to provide basic services such as a military, a police force, and protection to the weak and vulnerable. Glad you offered me the chance to explain it to you.

....a complete lack of critical thinking skills is the cause of this, and the MSM relies on this deficit to carry on their messaging.

First, depriving them of the natural human developmental need to develop their immune systems.
Second, confusing the hell out of them about what is psychologically healthy about human sexuality.
Third, making them feel guilty about things that happened hundreds of years before they were born.

If they had ended this earlier it might not have ended up in court. Now they will never be able to do the same thing (unless they win the appeal).
This rule was unsupportable after Delta waned.
