They said they skimmed the website. Not the page. Go to home page and you’ll find the second item is “ NCLA is Challenging Covid-19 Regulations and Orders Imposed by Executive Decree”

Keep in mind, it was not that long ago when some of us had regulations and orders that mandated you wear a mask... but allowed t-shirts over your face to count, which does absolutely nothing. Some other jurisdictions mandated that certain aisles in supermarkets be closed (yardwork / gardening tools), but others be allowed to remain open (alcohol aisle, where the entire aisle is dedicated to selling a known carcinogen specifically for human consumption).

The regulations in your jurisdiction being rational and sound does not mean that the regulations in everyone else's jurisdiction were equally as rational.

Consequently, an organization filing legal challenges against C19 regulations doesn't inherently mean they're a bunch of crazy conspiracy nuts who were opposed to things like mask mandates that required functional masks or social distancing.

I'm not saying they're guaranteed to be saints, but this doesn't exactly damn them either, at least not without a lot more context & information on the specifics.
