Summary
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) criticizes the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for its federal overreach, explaining why he filed the lawsuit alongside TX Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne. The Attorney General discusses how the CDC never “had the authority to issue these mandates.” “They didn't go back and demonstrate, the effectiveness of it” and “there's nothing in the language of the statute”, “drafted by Congress that authorizes them to take this level of action.” He moves on to discuss that not only is the mandate not enforceable but that the CDC exposing “criminal penalty” for not obliging “are made up rules”. Commenting “that's a problem too, because if you want to have that type of impact on people's lives, criminal penalties, you can't just issue that from” a federal agency.
