Fair enough, I deleted my prior response...I was under the impression that HHS needed a state of emergency to have the power delegated to them. Regardless....I think it's a little disingenuous for each party to argue out of both sides of their mouth when talking about the state of Covid.

> Keep the COVID emergency in place and reopen the border to asylum seekers.

And on a personal level, I’m fine with that, but that’s not the argument the administration is using.

I think the eviction moratoriums are a little different in the sense that you have different levels of government. With title 42 and student loan debt relief, you see contradictory arguments from the same level.

The thing I find interesting about this case, compared to the student loan issue is, in this case, is that the Biden Administration is claiming the pandemic is essentially over, while the republicans are arguing that the pandemic still poses a threat and that is why Title 42 should remain in effect. However, in the student loan case...the current administration is arguing that the impact of the pandemic still affects borrowers and that's why relief is warranted, however, republican plaintiffs are arguing that the pandemic is over and relief is not justified or legal on these grounds...

There is a big difference between “were offered” and “accepted” when it comes to bribes…according to the article, it seems that despite being offered cruises, no employee has accepted said offer.
