Just last month, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision rejected a different plea by landlords to end the ban on evictions.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh had written in an opinion (pdf) that while he believes that the CDC had exceeded its authority by implementing the moratorium, he voted against ending it because the policy is set to expire July 31.
“Those few weeks,” he wrote, “will allow for additional and more orderly distribution” of the funds that Congress has appropriated to provide rental assistance to those in need because of the pandemic."
Does the order do anything to address the income loss of the landlords? I wonder how many went under??
I am hoping that the day will come when the federal and state governments will be held liable for damages due to every eviction that they prevented. Lost rent, property damage- The who nine yards. The first thing is to find some lawyers who have the guts to take on the government. They are not easy to find.
I hope more Americans are beginning to realize that the COVID planscamdemic and the CDC power grab are the poisonous fruits of Obamacare.
Since when has the CDC had such authority. It seems tangential to eminent domain and it’s violation.
is that not enough to pay rent?
This was Trumped all the way - a Trump judge at the district court level, then two Trump judges and a Reagan judge kissed this one goodbye.
I thought SCOTUS ruled that CDC has this power.
