Not quite. A mandate is a power given by the governor of a state when in a state of emergency. It is not a law but it is enforceable. The problem is how long one can declare a state of emergency and exercise their emergency powers? Governors are abusing this right if their mandates last months or even years, The law was designed for natural disasters, etc. This is why the covid decisions are so important to our freedoms. If a governor of a state, or even worse the President of the United States can issue an emergency "mandate" using executive authority but extend the mandate indefinitely then it essentially becomes a dictatorship where an elected official can simply use their power to declare mandates in an emergency as a way to essentially create a law without it going through the normal legislative process.
You’re right but at the same time he has to show why this is an “emergency” in this case he can’t. The science doesn’t back his claims and quite frankly neither do the numbers and this is exactly what this is, a numbers game. There is no conclusive proof masks work but plenty of proof against it both physiological and psychological. With kids, and this really isn’t an opinion, is child abuse.
If We The People don’t comply there isn’t anything he can do. Like I said, our county of Orange and my city of Huntington Beach have resisted his “mandates” before. I expect it will happen again. He has no emergency basis for this. I can bet with almost certainly they’re preparing for another lockdown of this country by at least January or early February….two years from the first lockdown
