Good morning from Washington, where President Biden’s extension of the national moratorium on evictions quickly draws fire from groups representing strapped landlords. Tom Catenacci reports. In a commentary, David Harsanyi argues that the president’s action, through the CDC, is flat-out unconstitutional. Plus: Victor Davis Hanson raps the White House’s hard line on COVID-19 vaccinations, and Star Parker sees hope that the  Supreme Court will embrace the sanctity of life. On this date in 1942, 1st Marine Division launches Operation Watchtower, the first U.S. offensive of World War II, confronting the Japanese by landing on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Enjoy the weekend.
