RE: I thought SCOTUS ruled that CDC has this power.
Actually no. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the swing vote, had written in an opinion that while he believes that the CDC had exceeded its authority by implementing the moratorium ( which means he believes the CDC DOES NOT have this power), he voted against ending it because the policy is set to expire July 31.
I thought it was a VERY WEAK decision. What’s to stop CDC from re-imposing this mandate after July 31 ( using the same authority he said the CDC exceeded )?
By not stopping the CDC from exceeding its power DEAD ON ITS TRACKS, Kavanaugh is simply opening up the possibility of MORE litigation ahead.
I had reservations about Kavanuagh when Trump nominated him for reasons related to his PAST decisions as a Judge. Unfortunately, the bogus, sexual assault accusations took the focus off his judicial record, which SHOULD have been the MAIN focus.
A mini-version of O’Connor’s holding that racial bias in the form of affirmative action was contitutional, but only for another 25 years.
