LordoftheMorons 07/01/21 7:10:45 PM #226:	xp1337 posted... Meanwhile, at SCOTUS - last decisions of the term will be released Thursday. Includes a case on the Voting Rights Act and another on a law requiring donor-disclosement. Never a great sign when Roberts saves these kind of cases for the very last day. I'm expecting the worst here. In "better" news, SCOTUS just rejected a petition by a realtors' association to lift the federal eviction moratorium. 5-4. Roberts, Kavanaugh, and the 3 liberals denied them. I say "better" because Kavanaugh goes out of his way to write a concurrence saying he agrees with the realtors' association here but the moratorium expires on July 31 so he thinks it'll just solve itself in a month no need to complicate things by abruptly lifting it now when it'll be gone in a month. So despite voting to keep it in place, it's really only by technicality - in substance he would have axed it. So there's basically zero chance of getting it extended now because Kavanaugh is straight-up saying he'll kill it if the Biden Administration extends it... so it'd be up to Congress and this wouldn't be an issue you could throw under reconciliation I think so... filibuster. Oh yeah I meant to comment on this I actually think this one was right since the CDC claiming the authority to enact the moratorium is a pretty huge claim of executive power for something that really isn't in their purview, and it seems like it could be very dangerous if other agencies used similar logic in future. The authority to do something like that really should lie with Congress. Today's cases suck of course. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:955650981] in Politics C...
