Supreme Court Blocks Biden’s Eviction Moratorium

[Geee]

On Thursday, a grim day, in a depressing month, in a terrible year, there is some good news: The Supreme Court killed the CDC’s efforts to destroy private property. In a per curium decision, the six non-leftist Supreme Court justices held that the CDC lacks the authority to impose eviction moratoriums. This is a huge victory, not just for property owners, but for the American way of life.

The Court, appropriately, goes through the entire procedural history leading to its decision in Alabama Association of Realtors v. Department of Health and Human Services, issued on August 26. I’ll give you the down and dirty chronology.

In March 2020, as part of its first COVID relief bill, Congress imposed a 120-day eviction moratorium tied to properties participating in federal assistance programs or subject to federally backed loans. When it expired, the CDC announced that all evictions in America had to cease through December 31 or the landlords would be criminally liable

Because America was in the grip of COVID madness, BLM/George Floyd madness, and election madness, the CDC got away with it. Congress threw it a lifeline with the second COVID relief bill, extending the moratorium through the end of January 2021. When that deadline arrived, the CDC once against issued its own moratorium, which it kept extending month by month.
