Today i caught up with a group who had their lawsuit against the state's mandatory mask wearing order dismissed back in august.

But they tell me they've filed a new motion to have it reinstated and hoped today's hearing would strengthen their case.

Debbie mathis is among those who are part of another lawsuit aimed at governor kay ivey and state health officer scott harris.

They don't deny that the coronavirus is dangerous and feel everyone who wants to wear a face mask should -- but said the governor acted unlawfully in mandating the wearing of masks.

They say they oppose the governor's orders -- feeling them to be an over reach of her powers -- which is what they're hoping to stop.

"regardless if it's masks, regardless if it's vaccine, regardless of whatever it might be, her total overreach."

Mathis said the order has impacted her financially and said she's claustrophibic, which worses when she wears a mask.
