'Signal" implies something indirect, subtle, or nuanced in some way. The Supreme Court was very clear in the majority opinion (and lower courts had ruled) that the cdc overstepped its authority, that it had absolutely no power to impose these bans. The moratorium would have to be implemented by congress - it is their job when things like a brazen violation of basic property rights is involved.

That the cdc would go right ahead and roll out a new moratorium is a stunning failure of checks and balances.

I’ve often said we need the next constitutional convention to revise the government in light of society’s progress — this reinforces that view with the heat of boiling blood
