Not so much a federal judge’s order as it is an invalidation of a section in the governor’s mandate. The judge is not mandating masks, rather he is claiming one of the gov’s exemptions puts an extra burden on P(s)OC.

I hope the judge can explain to all of us how NOT requiring something is a burden on anyone. I could see how requiring masks is a burden, but exempting people from it? That makes no sense.

Even more challenging is trying to figure out how it only places that additional burden on black and Latino voters, but Asian, white, and all others are unaffected

Aren’t people of Asian descent “of colors” too? Particularly South Asian. How about Greeks? Southern Italians? What about “White” Hispanics like George Zimmerman. Do we go by the one drop rule like the pre-civil rights era South? My abuela was Mexican...not Mexican American, she was born in Mexico and immigrated (legally) 40 years later she was naturalized and became Mexican American. So am I colored too? Is it a burden on me to exempt persons of pallor (POPs or palloreds) from wearing a mask because my grandma had a Spanish accent? So many unanswered questions.
