The government is also recommending universal masking in schools this fall.
The ruling is unsurprising. But it does further strengthen the case against the moratorium, and increases the odds the issue might eventually make it to the Supreme Court.
The Sixth Circuit's decision is at odds with that of the D.C. Circuit, and features a Judge Thapar concurrence on delegation.

The decision is based on the conclusion that the landlords failed to prove they suffered an "irreparable" injury. It upholds a trial court ruling denying a preliminary injunction to landlords challenging the moratorium.
The war on drugs is not just ineffective; it exacerbates the problems it is supposed to alleviate.
It could, if it actually had the vast public health powers that the Biden administration claims it does.
Governments at the state, local, and federal levels can obstruct our pursuit of happiness and at times even jeopardize our safety.
Los Angeles County is nevertheless aping the WHO by recommending universal masking "to be extra safe."

The dubious decision breaks a streak of wins for plaintiffs challenging the legality of the CDC order.

A co-author of the article that Rochelle Walensky cited says outdoor settings probably account for "substantially less than 1 percent" of infections.
As the pandemic improves, kids are being asked to make even more sacrifices.
The paper gives short shrift to evidence that vaccines nearly eliminate the risk of infection.
The agency continues a pattern of arbitrary, dubious, and ever-changing recommendations.
Want to keep wearing a mask yourself? That's fine. Want to force fully vaccinated people to join you? The science doesn't support that.
The CDC's recommendations have never been purely a matter of science.
New CDC guidelines strengthen the already compelling case for doing so.
Local officials should end most pandemic restrictions immediately.
