Chief Justice Roberts to Decide if TSA May
Continue Enforcing Transportation Mask Mandate
Challenge Brought by 4-Year-Old Reaches
Supreme Court Just as Biden Extends Policy Again

WASHINGTON – The legality and constitutionality of the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate is now in the hands of the chief justice of the United States after the Supreme Court docketed Thursday an emergency application — from a 4-year-old Florida boy who suffers from autism and can’t medically wear a face covering — to stop the Transportation Security Administration from enforcing the requirement.
The appeal of a lower-court order denying a stay arrived in the chambers of Chief Justice John Roberts just hours after President Biden announced Thursday his administration is extending the FTMM a third time until mid-March.
Michael Seklecki Jr. of Sanford, Florida, his father Michael Sr., and Lucas Wall of Washington, D.C., jointly ask the Supreme Court to stay enforcement of the mandate pending final disposition of their petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals. Roberts receives emergency applications from the District of Columbia Circuit.
Applicants request Roberts rule by Dec. 8 so the Sekleckis can fly home from Michael Jr.’s medical care in Boston mask-free Dec. 9 and Mr. Wall can take his long-delayed flight Dec. 10 to visit family who reside in Germany.
The case is Wall v. Transportation Security Administration, No. 21A198.
