Biden’s CDC to impose rent moratorium extension that he admits is probably unconstitutional
By Thomas Lifson

In a presidency characterized by incoherent ramblings, the events yesterday represent a new level of muddle-headedness.  Congress failed to extend the rent moratorium that expired August 1, and the Supreme Court already has indicated that an extension would be unconstitutional. But yesterday, President Biden pretended that the CDC is not under his control and swept aside the bulk of constitutional scholarship, as the Washington Post reported:

In remarks to reporters shortly before the CDC made its announcement, Biden acknowledged that the move was likely to be subject to court challenge and appeared to express doubt about the legality of the move. He even said scholars he consulted felt the measure was probably not constitutional.

"I have been informed [the CDC is] about to make a judgment as to potential other options. Whether that option will pass constitutional measure with this administration, I can't tell you. I don't know," Biden said. "The bulk of the constitutional scholarship says that it's not likely to pass constitutional muster. … But there are several key scholars who think that it may and it's worth the effort."

When Shortbus Joe said it was unconstitutional, he also promised to tie it up in the courts long enough to break the Landlords.

Still, a landlord has to file suit, get an injunction, anything.

Sure.  A landlord can count on his case coming up, right after he files for bankruptcy.

Gosh, I wonder why rent is soaring?  Maybe he should impose rent controls, so a third of Americans can live in a tent.

This is outrageous, banana republic stuff ... and Biden is involved in a clear violation of a recent Supreme Court order.  Republicans need to introduce articles of impeachment.

With Biden’s Illegal ‘Eviction Moratorium’ Democrats Openly Embrace Lawlessness

The president knows what he ordered the CDC to do is illegal. He did it anyway to appease the left wing of his party.

By John Daniel Davidson
AUGUST 5, 2021

An astonishing thing happened this week in Washington that didn’t get much critical coverage from a media establishment loath to criticize President Biden. At the behest of congressional Democrats, Biden flouted the Constitution and broke his oath of office by issuing a ban on evictions that he and his advisers know to be illegal.

By “ban on evictions” I mean the president issued a blatantly unconstitutional decree that renters all across America don’t have to pay rent. If landlords try to evict tenants for not paying rent, they could face criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment.

The eviction moratorium is one of the most important stories of the COVID-19 lockdowns but also one of the least covered, partly because its effects are so diffuse and partly because the left doesn’t want to draw undue attention to its evisceration of property rights under the guise of public health.

But the way all this has gone down illustrates a deeply disturbing reality about the Democrats running the pandemic response in Washington: They’re lawless, and as the pandemic drags on, they’re becoming bolder about it.

CDC is an advisory agency.  It never ever ever had any enforcement capabilities These pukes are making things up on the fly.

[skeeter]

What major initiative has Biden put forward that isn't constitutionally questionable?

I used to own rental property, and based on most local laws, it is set up to make it very very difficult to bounce dead beat or destructive tenants.  Shit like this, is just another reason I rejoice ridding that garbage out of my portfolio.

Lot's of less hassle ways to invest and make money.

Of course, that's all part of the plan, drive away private landlords, so all rental property is in the hands of a few.

Cato complained:
"Maybe he should impose rent controls, so a third of Americans can live in a tent."

Be patient, comrade citizen.
The Party will take care of that in due time.

There’s a video of the squad dancing after Biden caved to them

Let’s see if they’re dancing down the road when they find out they’ve just exacerbated a homeless problem because rent is sky high

I predict that they’ll try to push for rent control
