They blasted their horns and sang "O Canada!" Some of the protestors linked arms as Ottawa police moved through the 300 semis and campers, arresting people along the way. Others locked themselves in their cars or defiantly rolled canisters of diesel down the blockade. But that was the extent of the "backlash." When officers started cracking down on the Freedom Convoy Friday morning, there were no Molotov cocktails. The truckers didn't torch government buildings or throw fireworks at mounted police. Ever since the demonstration started, they've been composed, peaceful. And the American Left can't stand it.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is hoping to permanently ground the federal aviation mask mandate with a lawsuit filed Wednesday. "The argument is pretty simple," he said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) "didn't have the authority to issue these mask mandates for transportation hubs and commercial airlines.... There was no statutory authority from Congress, and certainly there was no authority to say that they were going to potentially impose criminal penalties -- which they do, if you listen to them, on every flight." To make it "some type of criminal felony," he argued, "Congress would have had to pass that."
