I will pull a snopes and say that this is partially true. However, it doesn't address that the CDC should never have this kind of power in the first place. Desantis suing the CDC; isn't Ted Cruz(or any other politician) writing a bill to state that the CDC cannot enact those rules. That the CDC cannot stop evictions and foreclosures.
In my opinion the suit against the CDC desantis is bringing is kabuki theater. Desantis could write a law in Florida that allows for cruise ships and bypass the CDC. I think cruise ships are a grey area in regards to state vs federal law, but who cares. Now a days, federal law trumps all other law contrary to the 10th amendment.
You are correct. The CDC only issues guidelines. It is the state governors that enacted the lockdowns, mask mandates and quarantines.
