A man who sued airlines over the face mask mandate has taken his case to the Supreme Court

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A man who's suing seven airlines and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over mandatory mask-wearing on flights has taken his case directly to the Supreme Court.

Lucas Wall has asked the Supreme Court to issue a preliminary injunction against the CDC to put an end to the federal mask mandate, which has been extended through September 13.

Wall, of Washington, DC, last month filed a pair of lawsuits against the CDC and seven airlines over the mandate, arguing that it discriminated against people who couldn't wear masks because of medical conditions. Wall said he's been grounded because he can't wear a mask due to an anxiety disorder.

Wall said in his 99-page Supreme Court application: "I respectfully ask for relief no later than Friday, July 16, because I have a flight booked to Germany on Saturday, July 17, to visit my brother and his wife."

Lots of luck dumbass. Maybe you should sue Germany too because they're probably not going to let you in.

1. If he's been vaccinated, Germany's okay with that.

The German Government has lifted all travel restrictions for persons residing in the United States, effective Sunday, June 20, 2021. Travel to Germany for all purposes is permitted again. However, a proof of vaccination or proof of recovery from COVID-19 or negative test result is still required for entry via air travel.

9. yep, that story is from 08 and old Lucas has plumped up a bit but that's him.

10. wait a minute

your guy is from 2008, and he's turned into my guy? Rough life.

15. Ears, chin, and eyes don't look the same to me.

Tip of the nose looks the same.

3. Well...

He just has to find an asshole just like him. Good luck.

4. He has not exhausted his appeals in prior lawsuits

This guy is an idiot

Wall hasn't yet exhausted his appeals in the lower courts. With his emergency application to the Supreme Court, he is attempting side-step the formal process, legal scholars said.

Elliot E. Slotnick, professor emeritus at The Ohio State University, said: "Such applications are both rare and rarely accepted, likely only in a case where irreparable harm could occur through not acting immediately."

13. Thanks- I was so curious how he could go straight to the SCOTUS

5. I'm sorry, I know I should be more sympathetic,

but anxiety disorder means he can't wear a mask? Try some anti-anxiety medication or stay home. Your disorder doesn't give you the right to infect others.

6. He says he can't wear a mask because of a medical condition.

That excuse is a bunch of bullshit.There are no medical conditions that preclude mask wearing except for an extremely rare one. And who would waste all that time and money to prove a ridiculous point?

[Darwins_Retriever]

8. Isn't the SC in recess until October.

Plus they won't take lightly that the guy skipped a few levels of courts.

11. At least Lucas isn't suing to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. That's kinda refreshing.

12. "Sorry Sir, no oxygen mask for you...

...because your medical condition precludes masks" said the flight attendant when the flight emergency occurred.

The flight landed safely with only one fatality.

14. Let a window blow out at 30k feet you'll see how fast he forgets his

Too scared to wear a mask then
