Judge temporarily stays ruling in eviction moratorium case

[FBaggins]

7. Congress' action expired last July

The current CDC moratorium was claimed to be based on Congress' prior action granting the director broad powers in a pandemic. But this ruling (along with a number of prior ones), says that isn't within the powers Congress granted (and by some readings, powers that it can grant).

Congress more recently provided funds aimed at forestalling evictions, but not by policy... by giving people funds to pay those obligations.
