Because of my political history and legal background, I have been asked a number of questions about COVID-related legislation and, in particular, mask requirements. I am concerned that citizens may urge their legislators to take actions on masks that will establish a bad precedent when it may not even be necessary if legislators have the legal and constitutional information they need to evaluate properly the legislative remedies being urged on them. In my book, never establish a potentially bad precedent if there are other ways to address a problem.
