Biden official says court plays 'important role' days after Fauci questions their involvement
By: Peter Airken
Fascist Fauci is at it again! He thinks his lordship and those he anoints should have power over our elected officials and our courts. He really does expect us to surrender our liberty, rights, and freedom to him and his authoritarian oligarchs who would lock us down and mandate to us. We won’t be Fauci’d anymore! 🇺🇸🗽

Biden official says court plays 'important role' days after Fauci questions their involvement
The White House and CDC have asked the DOJ to fight the court decision
Mask mandates continue to stir confusion, debate
Louisiana radio host Jeff Crouere and Third Way Co-founder Matt Bennett debate confusion surrounding travel mask mandates following a judge striking them down and the power officials should hold in public health crises.
The White House has contradicted Dr. Anthony Fauci on mask mandate decisions , saying that the judiciary plays an "important role" and simply made an "incorrect decision."
"Obviously, the judiciary has an important role to play," White House COVID Coordinator Ashish Jha said on Sunday’s "State of the Union." "What you heard out of the administration, out of the Department of Justice, is the assessment that this is an incorrect decision and the DOJ is now appealing this decision."
A U.S. district court judge in Florida this week struck down the travel mask mandate for mass transit, leading to the Transportation Security Administration to announce it would no longer enforce mask requirements.

Fauci said Thrusday he was "surprised and disappointed" with the court decision and stressed that such decisions should fall to CDC authority.
"We are concerned about that, about courts getting involved in things that are unequivocally public health decisions," he said. "This is a CDC issue. It should not have been a court issue."
FAUCI WANTS COURTS TO DEFER TO PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS FOR ‘PUBLIC HEALTH DECISIONS’
He also told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that it’s a "bad precedent when decisions about public health issues are made by people, be they judges or what have you, that don’t have experience or expertise in public health."
Fox News reached out to the White House and Fauci for comment.

Jha reiterated that he believes that such decisions should "follow the science," but acknowledged the role the judiciary plays. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the White House both turned immediately to the DOJ to appeal the decision, indicating that the courts will play a role in dictating public health policy.
Jha indicated that the judiciary’s role relies on the fact that it is a co-equal branch of government.

The decision to repeal the mask mandate occurs at the same time as the nation recorded a 50% increase in cases over the past two weeks.
But Jha noted that due to the high level of vaccination and the availability of therapeutic treatments, numbers like this mean something different this year than they would have a year ago.
"We're in a much better place and we have been throughout much of this pandemic, right?" he said. "More than 200 million Americans vaccinated. Our hospitalizations are at their lowest in the entire pandemic since March of 2020."
"Let's see where the next few months go," he added, noting that the administration will watch the numbers "carefully." "I'm concerned … but at this point, I remain confident that we're going to get through this without disruption."

Good for the Biden admin to realize the separation of powers still exist, even if Fauci doesn't.
It is good that they were forced to back down lord Fauci from his arrogant assed statement and refer back to the constitution. We will never be Fauci’d over again!
