U.S. Supreme Court Puts An End to Biden's Unconstitutional Eviction Moratorium

On Thursday night, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out Biden's unconstitutional eviction moratorium.

The challenge was led by the Alabama Association of Realtors, which had also won a victory from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The ruling noted that the District Court stayed its judgment, which the Supreme Court on Thursday vacated, making the judgment enforceable.

"The District Court produced a comprehensive opinion concluding that the statute on which the CDC relies does not grant it the authority it claims," the ruling wrote.

Careful review of that record makes clear that the applicants are virtually certain to succeed on the merits of their argument that the CDC has exceeded its authority.

Instead, the CDC has imposed a nationwide moratorium on evictions in reliance on a decades-old statute that authorizes it to implement measures like fumigation and pest extermination.

Despite the CDC's determination that landlords should bear a significant financial cost of the pandemic, many landlords have modest means.
