They can measure the redshift in all directions, and if it remains unchanged, they are at rest wrt frame of the CMBR. AG

Right.  The CMBR defines (we think) a universal reference frame. But that's not what Jason's talking about.  He's saying a given person can define a universe wide frame in which he is stationary.
