In the end, it took less than 25 days. In a 6-3 ruling, the CDC’s order was blocked. Even Chief Justice John Roberts joined the majority this time, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh keeping his word that he could flip sides if this issue came up again.

BREAKING: Supreme Court blocks Biden’s moratorium on tenant evictions by 6-3 vote.
Conservative majority says it "strains credulity to believe" that the statute under which the moratorium was imposed "grants the CDC the sweeping authority that it asserts".

Meanwhile, the liberals on the court did what they always do, which is dissent based on things that have nothing to do with the law.
Arguing that taking illegal action is fine because it might be less forceful than other (probably illegal) actions is nonsensical on its face. The question was always whether the eviction moratorium itself passed muster. It clearly does not. Yet, the liberals continue to act as if the Supreme Court is a place for social experimentation and not interpreting the law.
