Does anyone really and honestly believe that unelected bureaucrats with recently acquired power would just voluntarily give it up? If you do, please let me know as I have some fantastic bridges in the San Francisco Bay Area and NYC to sell to you for a bargain basement price, or some fantastic oceanfront property near Albuquerque.

Pleasantly surprised by Mr. Kirby’s candor and his opinion that this DOJ challenge boils down to “appendage measuring” between government agencies (my paraphrase, of course).

The issue isn't really do they help, because they do at least a tiny, tiny little bit, the issue is whether it's worth it. I've said from day one that it's not.
Masks would actually have a legit impact on spread IF it was implemented as N95 and somehow proper use was enforced (can't imagine how you could accomplish that though). Or painter masks with rubber seals and HEPA filters. But of course that's not happening, so we just do virtue signalling instead.

The mask is like putting a dirty rag on your face that has wiped up every surface it has touched. Pretty nasty concept really and such a political tool

(And Google censors bad Covid info, so you know this has to be true)

Preserving the CDC's "authority" to do what?
Mandate behavior as they see fit? Where does it end?
They recommend not eating fully-cooked eggs; they recommend condom use during sex.
The next GOP platform should include de-funding the CDC, if not its outright elimination.
The agency was literally designed/funded/staffed to *prevent* the situation we find ourselves in today.
It failed in doing so, spectacularly. Now it wants it's "authority" to be the law of the land?
Hard pass.

They really have no idea what's coming in November because they're simply out of touch.

Something the judge did at the request of the government.
Correctly reasoned item not, she did better than you did here.
