    In the article it says that immunocompromised people spoke during the public comments on the bill and Republican senators said that the bill would criminalize their wearing masks but they just won’t be prosecuted for it.

      So the law would demand it, but the “trust me bro, I got yo back” defense says to ignore what the law actually says?

      Okay, I think I will.:-P

        Pretty sure a SCOTUS justice said that they can’t trust prosecutors to not do this just a month ago.

            Trump v. United States

            https://archive.org/details/CSPAN_20240428_171000_Supreme_Court_Hears_Case_on_Fmr._Pres._Trumps_Immunity_Claim/start/3960/end/4020

            https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/2023/23-939_f2qg.pdf

            CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Well, that’s what I – I mean, shortly after that statement in the court, that – court’s opinion, that’s what they said, but there’s no reason to worry because the prosecutor will act in good faith and there’s no reason to worry because a grand jury will have returned the indictment. Now you know how easy it is in many cases for a prosecutor to get a grand jury to bring an indictment, and reliance on the faith – good faith of the prosecutor may not be enough in the – some cases. I’m not suggesting here.

          Yeah, that’s just simply not how laws work… and even if they did, for a time, people could forget and prosecute later, bc that’s what the law says to do.

        That’s a much smoother way to become a criminal than by committing an actual crime, kinda convenient.
