A Texas Supreme Court justice rebuked a Dallas County Court judge’s requirement that people entering her courtroom must wear Covid face masks, telling her she has no legal authority to impose such a restriction.
In a letter Wednesday to Dallas County Court at Law No. 1 Judge D’Metria Benson, Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice James “Jimmy” Blacklock said he was “aware of no legitimate basis” for the judge’s courtroom mask mandate, telling her she has until 5 p.m. Friday to rescind the requirement.
“It has come to my attention that you may be requiring people entering your courtroom to wear facemasks and to divulge intimate information about their health,” Blacklock’s letter states.

“If this is true, please carefully reconsider whether you have legal authority for these actions,” he wrote.
Justice Blacklock went on to cite Article I, section 13 of the Texas Constitution, which “guarantees that ‘[a]ll courts shall be open.’”
“I am aware of no legitimate basis on which a Texas judge may condition a person’s presence in a courtroom on a mask requirement or on a heightened health screening,” he continued.
The Texas Supreme Court chief justice also highlighted his own court’s authority, writing that “Under Rule 10(f) of the Rules of Judicial Administration, ‘The Supreme Court may direct a court to amend or withdraw a local rule, form, or standing order if the Supreme Court determines that the rule, form, or standing order… is unfair or unduly burdensome.’”
Blacklock gave Benson until 5 p.m. on Friday, May 5, to clarify that her court does not impose mask mandates or health screenings or to withdraw the requirement.
Justice Blacklock’s letter comes as a Dallas lawyer filed a legal challenge against Judge Benson’s mask requirement earlier this week calling her standing order “degrading,” and saying it requires lawyers, witnesses and jurors “to tell court officials if they have diarrhea,” according to Texas Lawbook.
“The unauthorized mask mandate presents a myriad of logistical problems and fundamental unfairness, and additionally punishes those that cannot be masked for a lengthy period of time for medical or other reasons,” Kane Russell Coleman Logan partner Brian Hail, on behalf of his client Scott Frenkel, wrote in his 14-page letter to Judge Ray Wheless of Texas’ First Administrative Judicial Region.
“Mr. Frenkel is one that cannot wear a mask covering his nose and mouth for very long. It is not the business of the judiciary to require any further explanation on this issue.”
“Mr. Frenkel told the bailiff that the order was unlawful and he would not put on a mask,” Hail wrote. “Mr. Frenkel was given the choice of entering wearing a mask, leaving or continuing to argue and ‘ending up on the 7th floor.’ Mr. Frenkel left and did not participate in that trial.”
Amid the Covid pandemic in 2021, the Texas Fifth Court of Appeals sided with Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) arguing Jenkins had the authority to impose the mandate under the Texas Disaster Act.
The Texas Supreme Court terminated its “Final General Emergency Order Regarding the COVID-19 State of Disaster” on Feb. 28, 2023, which gave courts the authority to require masks, but Judge Benson issued her own order two days later.

If she hasn’t figured out yet that masks are useless against viruses and cause their own health problems, then I question her capacity to be a judge.
UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND SEIZURE… Even if 100 percent of the fascist, submission face masks/diapers stupid, weak humans obediently used to cover their nose and mouth during the CCP/Democrat bio-weapon virus wars were 100 percent effective at filtering a virus the size of 125 nano-meters, (which 100 percent of the CCP etc. face masks/diapers were not), absent sufficient probable cause evidence known beyond a reasonable doubt a person is infected with a pathogen with a high morality rate, and it’s known beyond a reasonable doubt he or she is readily capable of transmitting said pathogen with a high mortality rate to another person; it’s a gross 4th amendment violation, (unreasonable search and seizure) to require a citizen to quarantine their nose and mouth, as well as absent meaningful and vigorous due process of law in a legal and legitimate court proceeding, presided over by a legal and legitimate, unbias, impartial judge, meaning one who wasn’t unethically, illegally and/or unconstitutionally established as a judge in the judicial branch, which at least 75 percent of past and current judges were or 100 percent of past and current judges born with the mark/666 of the beast/Antichrist aka unrepentant devil worshipers were.
FASCIST SUBMISSION MASK… It’s a punitive measure imposed by an Obama devotee, Sorass bought and paid for, illegal, illegitimate, bribed, blackmailed, fascist judge, in a devious attempt to emasculate, humiliate and dehumanize the victims of her woeful judicial malpractice. In any case, health emergency or not, the punitive Fauci-Mengela measure, which has no basis in real science, as such so-called masks are incapable of filtering the China/Democrat bio-weapon virus aka Covid 19 and most or all other viruses, as well the punitive measure is woefully unethical, illegal, and unconstitutional, as a face mask is requirement is in effect a quarantine of one’s nose and mouth, and quarantines are wholly unethical, illegal and unconstitutional, absent sufficient evidence know beyond a reasonable doubt the person in question is readily capable of transmitting a pathogen with a high mortality rate to another person. That said, the fake judge obviously is an unrepentant devil worshipping, therefore she lacks the ability not to sin/harm/destroy, in and of herself, outside God’s unpredictable, unmerited common grace, thus she is an extreme danger to herself and others and therefore woefully spiritually unqualified to occupy any meaningful position of power and authority over others in the government and private sector human power structures, unless the goal is to increase unjust pain and suffering and decrease just peace and prosperity, for the worst common bad of mankind.
THE BEST FINAL SOLUTION… Sadly and tragically, just in these Divided States alone, there are millions of unrepentant devil worshipers that currently unethically, illegally, unconstitutionally occupy meaningful positions of power and authority over others in the government and private sector human power structures. It’s a grave matter of national and planetary safety and security that they are immediately DISARMED of their ill-gotten meaningful positions of power and authority over others in the government and private sector human power structures by the power of persuasion and/or the persuasion of power, and due to their ability not to sin/harm/destroy, supplanted by those born with the mark/777 of the Holy Spirit, who have experienced their regeneration/born again moment, especially those who are mature and correct in their theology, and mature in their faith in the righteousness of God, Jesus the Christ and his righteousness alone for the salvation of their soul aka Roubix Theorem/C A.W.P. Failure and/or refusal to disarm unrepentant devil worshipers and implement and firmly establish Roubix Theorem into the national and planetary government and private sector human power structures will surely continue to increase unjust pain and suffering and decrease just peace and prosperity, for the worst common bad of mankind, especially the tax oppressed, working class, peasants masses, who since the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden have always been the most harmed by the woefully incorrect theology of “on high” unrepentant devil worshipers united to their official acts in word and deed within the most meaningful positions of power and authority over others in the national and planetary government and private sector human power structures.
Good! Now burn the masks!
No more face diapers!
