Eviction Moratorium by Presidential Fiat Blatantly Violates Constitution, Defies Supreme Court
< < Go Back
President Biden instructed the Centers for Disease Control Tuesday to issue yet another so-called “eviction moratorium” through October 3, 2021, following the original order’s July 31 expiration. The president issued the edict despite the Supreme Court indicating weeks ago that such action would require congressional mandate.
Heritage research fellow Joel Griffith released the following statement on the unlawful moratorium:
“The CDC’s moratorium is precisely the kind of big-government power-grab the pandemic has made federal policymakers more willing to make in recent months. It exceeded powers delegated to the executive branch by Congress, created economic policy through executive fiat, infringed upon the fundamental constitutional right to petition state courts, and creates massive economic certainty for landlords and small-business renters across the country who rely on rent payments to make a living and feed their families.
