Biden is openly defying a scotus ruling that stealing private property from landlords is unconstitutional.
biden admitted the act is unconstitutional but will keep on doing it.
For the people here, sonhouse comes to mind, claiming Trump was a dictator, well here is an example of how a dictator works.
We are entering dangerous territory. The constitution is what makes us a free country. It now means nothing.
@mott-the-hoople saidKeep in mind that the moratorium started during Trump's term, in March of 2020.

Why wasn't it "unconstitutional" then?

@vivify saidNo because it was passed by congress. The current extension, against the SCOTUS ruling, was a fiat by the new director of the CDC, who has no legislative power.

Yet nothing is being done , so we are no better than a banana republic.
When congress ignores the SCOTUS we are truly screwed.
@dood111 saidYeah I'm sure the kids that won’t have to sleep on the street are really fretting about a constitution and wealthy SCOTUS panel that would toss them on it.

When Trump defied the Constitution by trying to stop the certification of an election, no complaints from conservatives....even though SCOTUS dismissed Trump's claims of election fraud.
Now, when it's a matter of people becoming homeless, suddenly the opinion of SCOTUS matters? Inciting a riot to stop a election is the "good" way to ignore the Constitution, but keeping people from being homeless? Screw that, right?
That said, I'm in agreement that we shouldn't violate any laws or Supreme Court orders granted that they aren't in violation of civil rights (like when SCOTUS upheld slavery).
I don't know that much about the details of this issue, so I'll stay out this discussion.

@vivify saidit was unconstitutional then, Trump didnt do it, an unelected cdc official did.

we have the govt taking property from private citizens unlawfully.
The states were given covid relief money that they still have most of left over. Let them pay for giving people a free ride.

Vivify, if you want the children to have a roof over their head, why don't you get it done the LEGAL way, PAY FOR IT out of your pocket.
Don't enslave others and call it a just cause
@earl-of-trumps saidIn that very post you quoted from, I agreed we should do things legally.

My problem is that conservatives don't care about laws being violated when it's done to benefit them; if it's to stop an election, ignore congressional subpoenas, violate the Emoluments Clause, conservatives are say nothing.
You pick and choose when to be outraged at laws not being followed; and you're always outraged when it comes to helping those in need, but never to when it comes to benefiting yourselves financially or politically.

Something is being done; those who feel aggrieved by the CDC moratorium have filed suit and the legality of the action will be judged in the Federal courts, not by right wing internet posters.

@no1marauder saidSCOTUS upheld the rent moratorium only until it was supposed to end on July 31.
The SCOTUS made no such ruling.
