No, Atty Gen Slatery. Jacobson does not support a mask mandate in Tennessee.

On July 24, 2020, our Tennessee Attorney General, Herbert Slatery issued an opinion as to whether or not mask mandates are constitutional per our emergency powers statute. And, of course, he stated that they were indeed constitutional.
His rationale for this decision was based on his appropriation of the 1905 US Supreme Court ruling from Jacobson v Mass. Essentially, since the Court upheld the state's prerogative to mandate a vaccine for smallpox, AG Slatery used that decision to justify Governor Bill Lee delegating authority to county mayors across Tennessee to issue mask mandates in their respective counties.
Watch this video to find out why AG Slatery is dead wrong.
