In my previous post, I questioned whether or not the CDC was overstepping its authority in regards to its opposition to the proposed extension to the eviction moritorium which was first put in place in September of 2020 by the CDC and the Trump administration to protect renters during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This new article from The Washington Times answers that question and more. One paragraph in particular states the following:
——- Begin Quote ——-
“It is not clear whether the new eviction moratorium will survive legal challenges. The Supreme Court last month signaled that the CDC overstepped its authority when it imposed the first ban in September 2020.”
——- End Quote ——-
On the whole, I think it is a well-balanced article, because it not only mentions the difficulties which are being faced by American renters, but also the problems which are being encountered by American landlords due to non-payment of rent.
Of course, the Biden Administration and Congress are pointing the finger at each other for the failure and slowness in getting the money into the hands of the people who need it.
According to God’s Word, we never go wrong by helping the poor, the elderly and the downtrodden.
Here is The Washington Times article I mention above:
