The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday issued a moratorium on evictions targeting areas of the country with high levels of COVID-19 transmission, extending an eviction ban for much of the nation just days after a blanket moratorium had expired.
The CDC order applies to counties experiencing significant levels of virus spread, which is defined by the agency as 50 to 100 cases per 100,000 people. A congressional source said the order will likely apply to roughly 90 percent of the renter population in the U.S.
The order will expire on Oct. 3. It was issued after days of back-and-forth between the White House and congressional Democrats over who was responsible for extending the moratorium

How the hell did the CDC get all this power. Why aren’t the gutless pubbies getting this to the courts?
THE CDC HAS NO AUTHORITY OVER RENTAL CONTRACTS IN THE SEVERAL STATES!
I cannot write what I really think. This action is illegal, unfair and unconstitutional. The government does not have the right to do this.
We have A LOT more to fear from the gov than the Chinese bug.
When did the flocking CDC start signing executive orders?
Damn I’m glad I don’t have rental property, cause I wouldn’t have it for too long.
At dinner… next to Dianne Feinstein who was eating next table over…showed this to her from this post…and even she was shocked… she said they haven’t got that authority. No shit.
A Congress that, in order to abdicate its Constitutionally-defined scope of authority to avoid political fallout, would even attempt to suborn an Administration into ignoring a SCOTUS ruling is a complete set of cowards, and therefore illegitimate.
An Administration that would allow Congress to suborn it into ignoring a SCOTUS ruling, for the purpose of said Congress avoiding political fallout from exercising Constitutionally-defined scope of authority, is complicit in the cowardice of the Congress, and therefore illegitimate.
How’s the SC going to enforce it?!
For the love of God we have an illegitimate regime in charge and you guys are saying how can the cdc do this? Because they can.
Two thumbs up!
Why not instead just help those few people in real need?
It's not and the Supreme Court ruled that way but allowed it to continue anyway. Now they're doing it again. John Roberts is a clown overseeing a court of fools.
Maybe the point is to force the Republicans to be for throwing these poor victims of COVID out on the street.
And then we’d never hear the end of it through 11/22.
This is how elections get stolen.......no wait. It’s the 4th branch of government. The bureaucratic unelected state.
Good cause to squash the infrastructure bill until we sort out our system of government.
By what authority?
Useless is as useless does.
Since when does the CDC have the power to be in infections? They are simply another government agency that this point is far beyond saving and needs to go away.
The CDC has no legal controlling authority.
Isn’t this what they do in Venezuela?
Also last summer a Federal judge in Massachusetts declared one of the draconian orders that the state's Trump hating "Republican" Governor to be a violation of 2nd Amendment rights (he declared gun ranges to be "non essential" and closed them).
How is it that any government official...or government agency...has the Constitutional authority to do some of the things they've done in the last 18 months?????
