Considering there was no constitutional nor statutory legal basis for the CDC issuing ANY kind of edict on landlords, why would a Texas court - or any court for that matter - enforce this capricious regulation?

I think it’s extremely dubious that Congress could enact legislation to bar landlords from evicting non-paying tenants as - to me - that would be a clear violation of the 5A takings clause (among other infirmities). But, there is absolutely NO WAY the CDC enjoys the authority to issue such a directive. It’s an insane usurpation of the civil rights of the landlords. Insane.

I don't see any CDC mentioned in the constitution. The CDC does not have the power to determine who pays the rent in private accommodation.
