The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday struck down a statewide mask mandate.
The state’s high court said Acting State Health Secretary Alison Beam did not have the authority to mandate students wear a mask in school. This from thegatewaypundit.com.
A full written opinion by the democrat-majority court will be issued next week.
Fox43 reported:
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has affirmed the Commonwealth Court’s decision and vacated the mask mandate issued by the acting state health secretary.
The opinion is expected to be released at a later date. Judge Saylor did not participate in the vote.
The legality of the order requiring masks in K-12 schools and child-care facilities went before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court earlier this week, as the two sides argued their respective positions before the justices Wednesday in Philadelphia.
Constitutionality prevails at the state level. And again, at face value, our state and U.S. constitutions are demonstrated to be only as sound as the opinion of the decision maker reading the constitution.
Final thought, a rhetorical question: Will it be a choice of words or perhaps a particular nuance that entices the United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to refer a COVID-related mandate case to the other justices?
