Biden’s eviction moratorium has small landlords on the brink
We often expect politicians to enact constitutionally dubious laws and executive orders, but usually they at least pretend their actions are legal.
President Joe Biden dropped the pretense when he reimposed a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eviction moratorium. “The bulk of the constitutional scholarship says that it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster,” the president admitted recently.
In the days leading up to the president’s decision, senior officials like Press Secretary Jen Psaki and White House Adviser Gene Sperling both acknowledged that reissuing the moratorium was likely illegal.
President Biden and his fellow Democrats are thumbing their noses at the Supreme Court and several lower courts which have all indicated that the eviction moratorium was illegal because it exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority.
Rest here…
