Democrats in Virginia Senate Flip to Join Republicans to Make Masking In School Optional, By Law

The Rise and the Fall of Karen

Chapter XIV: The Beginning of the End.

Last week, on Friday, a Hawaiian judge in Virginia ruled that Governor Youngkin's executive order to reverse Governor Blackface's executive order and end mask mandates did not actually have the power to make masking optional. The Democrat blackface-wearing governor had the power to impose mask mandates on the schools, but the Republican governor did not have the power to say that mask mandates were optional.

The Hawaiian judge ruled that local schools could still impose mandatory masking, which again, is strange, because previously, the Democrat governor's executive order was enough to take local schools' decision-making power away from them as regards masks.

I didn't mention this because it was late in the day and I hate bad news late on Friday.

I hoped this obviously-lawless order would be reversed.

But, better than that -- the Virginia Senate, controlled by the Democrats by a single vote, has decided to explicitly make it the L A W that masking in schools is optional.

All but nine Democrats -- who can see which way the wind i blowing -- joined a unanimous bloc of Republicans to pass the law.

I would say "I'd like to see a Hawaiian judge now rule that the law cannot trump a liberal school principle's decision," but you well know, they will do that.

But hopefully the overrule will come quickly.

Note that the Senate is held by Democrats 21-19, and one Democrat said that if schools do not stop this mask mandate nonsense, he would flip to vote with the Republicans to end the mask mandates. That would make it a 20-20 tie, but the tie would be broken in favor of the Republican position by Lt. Governor Winsome Sears.

I point that out as a possible explanation as to why so many Democrats joined the "Yea" side-- they knew they were losing anyway. Maybe they thought, why join the unpopular side if it's also the losing side?

Below, the amendment. This language is Stronk. As stronk as Tater's stare. Nay-- stronker.

No requirement of giving any explanation or reason for not wearing a mask. You just don't wear it.

maskoptionalprovision.png

I'm not sure when this law -- this amendment to a current law, actually -- goes into effect. New laws usually go into effect July 1. However, as this is an amendment to a law already in effect, one Tweeter says it should go into effect immediately upon the governor's signature.

(And it will pass the Virginia House, easily -- Republicans control that.)

What comes next, the walk-out by teachers?

Hopefully. And then, I pray -- the mass firing ordered by Youngkin.

Can he do that? I dunno, I'm riffing. He can definitely cut off state funds to any school that refuses to fire striking teachers.

It should also be noted that the amendment specifies that students will be offered "in-person" instruction for all their classes. No more "remote learning" bullshit -- by law. There is a mention of some specified exceptions, but I imagine those are limited. And not just "whenever the teachers want to show who runs Bartertown."

This came just in time -- leftwing school administrators were planning an authoritarian nightmare of punishments for students who tried to claim their right to not wear a mask under Youngkin's executive order.

Students who don't wear masks are "trespassers," and they'll be seeking arrest warrants for them.

They're all about the kids. You know that, right?

Just a niggle on the word choice, but there is no such thing as an "optional mandate." Something is mandatory or it is non-mandatory. In the absence of a mask mandate, masks are optional unless masks are explicitly forbidden (which would be, I suppose, a "bare face mandate").

74 The Hawaiian judge ruled that local schools could still impose mandatory masking, which again, is strange, because previously, the Democrat governor's executive order was enough to take local schools' decision-making power away from them as regards masks.

77 This is all theater and scheduling. The warmer months are coming, when the COVID infections naturally plummet, so the Democrats are pretending to be on the side of "common sense" until they win their elections in November.

Once flu season comes about again, they'll come roaring back with restrictions and mandates, and "YOU'RE KILLING PEOPLE" TikTok tirades.

And if you question their loyalties as tied to election seasons, they'll just brag about how they follow the "science" and the science changes on a weekly, if not daily basis, depending on when they need to overtake the news cycle.

Well, that would certainly be nice, as an addition.

But in the event of a walkout, the basic protocol would be to arrest a bunch of them, shoot a few of them, and then demonize them and doxx them for the next year, and declare a solemn commemoration of his victory over the forces of Adolf Hitler the following year.

84 I'm not sure when this law -- this amendment to a current law, actually -- goes into effect. New laws usually go into effect July 1. However, as this is an amendment to a law already in effect, one Tweeter says it should go into effect immediately upon the governor's signature.
---
It depends on what the state constitution says. In Michigan, a bill has to have "immediate effect" to come into effect upon being signed. This requires a super-majority. Sometimes this is done by voice vote. It looks like the VA senate provided a big enough majority for immediate effect (assuming that applies).

Otherwise, it tends to be six months after the close of the legislative session.

88 You are right that most laws take effect on 1 July of the year they are enacted. Some laws can be written to take effect on a different date but I do not see any wording in SB739 that states a different date.

It is interesting as many emergency "mandates" were getting lifted already. A few counties decided to push this masking issue even though it is clearly wildly unpopular and the emergency orders were expiring. They went out of their way to extend the middle finger to parents and the governor.

When he sent his letter on the 4th, after warning them once and getting a double down, I expect he thought they'd give in. They didn't, so he used the power he had to fix it. That's what you want your reps to do, so even if he's a Dem, I am thankful Fairfax managed to elect a practical one (or one with kids who probably HATED the policy).

It's kind of funny how that played out in Michigan. There were two "emergency powers" laws, a more recent one that had detailed rules, including legislative oversight and a broader, older one. That was the one the Gov used to rule by decree.

And that was the one ruled unconstitutional, but not before a petition drive was launched to repeal it. Michigan has this thing in its constitution where the legislature can simply override the governor's veto of if enough signatures are submitted.

In the event, the state Supreme Court invalidated the law, but instead of saying "okay, it's over," the state GOP to its credit insisted on making the rubble bounce and formally repealing the law anyway.

A rare display of GOP backbone.

159 This weekend I had to drive down to New Orleans for a business event and stayed over with my daughter so we could explore the French Quarter early on Sunday. ( Local friends explained that the French Quarter is fun to see in the daytime, but a NO GO zone at night...)

New Orleans is under strict mask AND Vaccine Passport rules. Between 25- 40 percent of restaurants are closed for good. The restaurants that actually survived the past two years are now asking for papers. No restaurant was full for Sunday brunch and the few I attempted to enter got a lecture from me about the Constitution, fascism, and the ridiculousness of their demands. Even the Jazz Museum is part of this circus. We drove a few minutes from the French Quarter over the county line to Metairie where they have NO mandates AT ALL. The restaurant owners there are doing so well that they want to thank the mayor of New Orleans for sending all the tourists to their places! Meanwhile, the New Orleans restaurant owners are wondering if they'll even make it to Mardi Gras. I wish I could feel sorry for them, but I don't.

I say New York go into permanent lockdown. Refuse to let anyone into or out of the state. Ban all in person gatherings except those that you are blood related to.

Use the power of the state to murder anyone caught on the streets after 5 pm.

176 127 I've heard local women actually say they'll wear masks forever.

Yeah, I wear them in winter at indoor places now, but even I don't wear one from March to November (aka, when there's some Vitamin D immune help from the sun). At least not yet (maybe if my immune system truly goes in the toilet)...

But what I need isn't what society needs. And I help myself and let the rest of the fam make the choices they want - I'm sure we look odd with one masked member out of 6, but I guess that's what it used to look like when families had an active cancer patient, so maybe not so weird...

Cruz is a grifting spineless shiteating twat. And even in Hearing Theater I heard him say something about preserving "our Democracy". He's one of the biggest pieces of shit in Washington and isn't fit to buff Trump's toenail.

They learned incorrectly. What happened is that people generally trusted doctors, public health authorities, and our medical system in general. That trust is wiped out for a large proportion, maybe majority now, of the population and that trust is what is necessary to impose those regulations.

Part of it is that people in a democracy really have to be pushed to recognize nightmare scenarios because they have no experience with them. The Dems by their idiocy have now given the population nightmare scenarios--censorship, curtailment of public liberties, destruction of the economy, destruction of public safety, trying to mandate increasingly unpopular and non-working vaccines, and making the majority of Americans targets because of their race, etc.

So, now that people have been forced to recognize reality by having their noses rubbed in it, we shall see what they choose.

There are rumors going around that many of the Ottawa police aren't too happy about using force against the truckers. There was claim that a large number "resigned".

That's not true, but some small number (maybe 30) have indeed resigned.

There was also some talk about the RCMP staging "public order units" outside Ottawa preparing for a mass crackdown, with Lowndowne Park being prepared for a mass detention camp.

not really; that was just one rather misleading poll pushed by West's campaign. It showed that West had a bit more than 1/3 of Dedicated Republicans, a little bit more than Abbott. The flaw was that ignored the fact that in the Texas Republican Primary this year, half the voters will be independents and democrats. 1/3 of committed Republican voters will get West about 17% of the vote in the primary. At least that's my prognostication on the vote; we'll see on March 1.

Posted by: The Central Scrutinizer

Pelosi is as mentally unsound as Biden and probably will not last much past the next election. She probably agreed to remain by postponing retirement to help out as much as she can fundraising and to maybe preserve her seat for her daughter.

McConnell is also getting up there in age to nearly 80 and still has complications from polio that he got as a youngster.

What you are seeing primarily is the legislative staff that both have are the ones getting frantic--if their patron goes, a lot of them will walk the plank too.

You can't compare him to DeBlasio, Wolf, or other blue state loons. Has he been a good governor BY TEXAS STANDARDS? The man has been all over the place, and only when under direct pressure or running for election stays on the straight and narrow. Look at his record on the Wuhan Flu, he could have walked the DeSantis walk but no.

Guys like that have to be shown the door until the political class gets it. The time to do that is in the primaries, to show the seated power that they are NOT in charge and cannot presume upon us.

I would argue that most of their base is pragmatic in figuring out the government checks help them more than the garbage policies that the huge donors demand hurt them. Spending is what holds the disparate parts of the Dem coalition together and spending and promising more spending is the glue that keeps them together. It is the independents that are the worry.

For the Republicans, it is tax cuts and military spending.

Posted by: Oddbob at February 08, 2022 04:46 PM (nfrXX)

495 FYI -- when laws go into effect.

The state legislature can put it into any bill (one that amends an existing law or one that creates a brand new one) that it goes into effect upon signature of the governor.

If that language isn't in there, it goes into effect the date the state law declares it does (i.e., there is already a statute in existence in the VA code that determines what date a law goes into effect after enactment). In my state, for example, that date is August 1st due to the timing of the regular session of our state legislature.

Small town I live in used the rent-a-cop program from the VT state police. Guy they had assigned was never showing up but he kept claiming he was there and getting his overtime for it. The town finally figured it out because of the declining revenue from traffic tickets. Cop got to retire and kept his pension. Town did eventually get the $50k back from the state for the time we paid him not to be there. I've no use for any of them.

80ish? Uhm, no.

This isn't 2010 when the Dems had a 40 seat majority. They have a 5 seat majority. If it's a red tsunami (and that is by no means a sure thing), the GOP will win 50. Most likely it will be in the 25-30 range which is the typical mid term win for the opposing party in the president's first term.
