U.S District Judge Dabney Friedrich has ruled the CDC has exceeded its authority with the federal ban on evictions during the COVID response. [pdf ruling HERE]
The issue at the heart of the matter is one of private property rights. As the judge stated: “The question for the Court is a narrow one – “Does the Public Health Service Act grant the CDC the legal authority to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium? It does not.”
(WASHINGTON) – Federal Judge Dabney Friedrich struck down on Wednesday the national eviction moratorium, potentially leaving millions of Americans at risk of losing their homes.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has banned most evictions across the country since September. President Joe Biden extended that protection to renters until July. Some 1 in 5 renters across the U.S. are behind on their payments amid the pandemic, and states are scrambling to disburse more than $45 billion in rental assistance. (read more)
Judges in Ohio and Texas have previously ruled against enforcement of the ban based on property rights. The federal government cannot block evictions for failure to make payments to private property owners. The Washington Post reported that officials in the Treasury Department were “racing” to distribute COVID relief aid before eviction moratoriums were struck down; the Biden administration knew what they were attempting would be overturned by the courts.
In a related note….
Bwahahahahaha….oh….bwahahaha
Im sorry…its just tfat karma’s a b.
Too little too late. This is how they operate…impose overreaching decrees and then as Americans suffer and lose their properties to deadbeats this can work it’s way through the long legal process. Meanwhile fascist governors have passed their own so this alone doesn’t stop it. THERE IS NEVER ANYTHING DONE ABOUT THIS! We simply just keep playing catch up as we slowly die a death of one thousand cuts.
You can’t tell them, you have to show them. Was “Pain is coming” meant for the awakened? Sure feels like!
Authority? The unelected Rockefeller contrived, owned, and operated CDC has no authority to ban anything.
It is a fraud.
I can’t imagine having to pay a mortgage while the renters pay nothing.
Good that the tyranny was shot down.
Not sure why the shot at Biden admin, this unconstitutional moratorium was started while Trump was in charge
A lot of the fake pandemic crap occurred on Trump’s watch. He takes great pride in rushing the “vaccine” too.
Yeah, I really wish he’d quit taking credit for the “vaccine” cuz I am pretty sure it is gonna turn out a disaster
I had an excellent tenant in my rental condo in DC for the past 5 years. She moved out in April, and I decided to sell it just because of the moratorium. Deadbeat tenants are easy to come by in the best of times.
I work in multi-family housing, I have seen some who have abandoned and others who have been evicted for other than non-payment. Some leave their spaces in less than desirable condition some living like outright savages, often littered with I phone 10 boxes or Macbook boxes or all the newer high end electronics. Top shelf food both dine out and grocery. I have witnessed first hand someone who started the “Plandemic” driving a mid-level Volkswagon sedan abandon their space owing 10k plus in rent and legal fees in a mid-level Audi luxury suv. The lack of moral’s of these people is astounding. I was raised poor white trash and ate many a wish sandwich but could never conceive of being so irresponsible or entitled.
The governments created the problem and now there is going to be even more government caused pain. Man people are stupid.
All of this over a fake pandemic- the top of the pyramid sitters are clapping their hands in glee! Misery makes the cabal happy.
Doesn’t all this beg the question, why have “government” over us in the first place?
At the very least, if we are serious about ending this ever-encroaching tyranny — and we can see very clearly exactly what’s coming for us down this road! — we MUST repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments, just to begin; End the Fed (yes, a holler back to Dr. Ron Paul! Do you REALLY disagree?!), and IF we MUST have rulers over us, pare them back strictly and permanently to ONLY what the Constitution and the Bill of Rights — ONLY THE FIRST TEN AMENDMENTS! — actually designates for the federal government.
Eliminate census. Eliminate taxes. Assert private property rights as supreme, if we would restore true individual rights and liberty, and true equity, based on what one actually DOES to live HIS OWN good life, THEREBY enriching and enabling the good life and achievements of others — “society.”
There is no peace without individual private property, without stealing from or harming anyone else.
Our dear “leaders” certainly don’t want us to know and own and stand up for this.
Why not, do you think?
Who among mature adult human beings has a RIGHT to rule others?
Who among mature adult human beings is QUALIFIED to rule others?
Who says, and why?
“Give me liberty or give me death.”
Without liberty they WILL impose death on all of us, sooner rather than later.
We can reclaim our individual rights and liberties peacefully at the moment.
But soon enough it will be too late.
Now.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) was shut down early on in its vaccine effort for Covid by FDA due to “contamination”.
If that sentence alone does not describe an Agency far away from its founding, I don’t know what is?
And then to believe it’s empowered to govern landlord/tenant contracts during a health crisis, clearly is 20x outside its founding.
One wonders where Fauci’s NIH is on this overreach?
Now, who is gonna file lawsuits against CDC?
That’s a lot of harm!
Activist judges in Harris County, TX are making their own laws and honoring these moratoriums by simply refusing to advance the case granting continuations when defendants don’t show up.
For reals.
