Robert Redfield:
We’re very comfortable in responding when we have data that is compelling, cDC, as an organization … we’re not an opinion organization. We’re a science-based data driven organization. So I do think this is going to be an independent decision of these health care providers and patients.

Police chiefs will look at that tape, analyze it, and will look at their own policy and say this is so high risk that they will be reluctant to authorize anything that isn’t the most narrow, compelling situation.

A vague statute is, by definition, not narrowly tailored, and as such it will wither under First Amendment scrutiny.
