[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"injuction until legal process plays out"....so who did this arlington judge punt to? being  a woman myself I wish she had the balls to rule on this -even if I was in disagreement..wimpy lib[/quote]

She didn’t punt to anyone.  This hearing was about the motions for [i]temporary[/i] injunction filed by both sides.  As the name would suggest, it is a temporary measure put into place while the parties fully litigate the issue.  The ruling is based in part of a finding that the school systems are likely to prevail in the end, but less as he’s open the possibility that once the parties have had a chance to fully brief the issues, the ultimate outcome could be different.

The judge did exactly what she was supposed to do.  You just don’t understand the legal process.[/quote]

OK fair enough, so in what Court will the legal process play out? what is the next step?[/quote]

The case stays in the same court and the regular process in the legal system will play out—discovery, motions, trial, etc.

A temporary injunction means the status quo (in this case mask mandates in these local districts) stays in place while the case reaches a final conclusion.

Often when a party loses at the preliminary injunction stage, that is a preview to the fact that they may ultimately have a losing argument and could end up settling.  Not sure exactly what that would look like or what Youngkin’s next move will be.

Says a lot that one of his first acts in office was already struck down by the courts this quickly.[/quote]

It appears a temporary injunction order is all that was sought by the school boards.  Because SB 1303, cited by the school boards as their authority for mask mandates, expires in August 2022.[/quote]
