The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to lift the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s ban on residential evictions, which expires at the end of next month.
The court voted 5-4 against lifting the ban put in place to help families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett said they would grant the application, which was requested by a group of landlords.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the justices who declined the application because he noted that the moratorium is set to expire in a few weeks, on July 31.
"In my view, clear and specific congressional authorization (via new legislation) would be necessary for the CDC to extend the moratorium past July 31," Kavanaugh wrote in a concurring opinion…

"In my view, clear and specific congressional authorization (via new legislation) would be necessary for the CDC to extend the moratorium past July 31," Kavanaugh wrote in a concurring opinion... it’s ready to go 5-4 the other direction

***************************************************************
If congressional authorization would be necessary AFTER July 31, why would it not be necessary BEFORE July 1st?
PATHETIC!
July 1 should be July 31!
It’s still a largely sicko and dangerous court
WTH! Are they declaring a form of mass imminent domain! How can they rule this way. This ruling is horrible and sets dangerous precedents for private property ownership as well as a host of others GOD GIVEN rights.
I continue to believe that Kav is the worst of Trump’s 3 SCOTUS picks. You can take the boy out of the country club/Yale/Yale Law, but you can’t take country club/Yale/Yale Law out of the boy. He’s an establishment tool— a frat guy who wants to be liked— who’s always contriving ways to be a “centrist” along with Roberts.
how does the cdc have national powers to prevent landlords from evicting non-paying tenants
No enumerated power for the CDC’s rule,
This Court closes its eyes to the Constitution and only sees the acts of the state. They are lawless and faithless.
Yep.
Kavanaugh the pussy is hedging. Too clever by half, this donut is.
I knew this clown was another Kennedy. Waste of breath panderer.
Should be ignored by states under the 10th.
Yup. And after all we (and the country) went through to defend this guy...
It world have been righteous to defend him vociferously against the false charges, but vote AGAINST his confirmation, anyway.
He’s a Statist at heart; loves Liberty less than “The Big Machine.”
The CDC powers touch on general emergency powers and perhaps Kav did not want set a precedent for real national emergencies going forward in the future for a case that is soon to be moot.
Kav is the designated clean up guy for the mess the governments created
I believe this ban on evictions is coming from the governors.
kavanaugh can go pound sand.
I DESPISE lawyers. They don’t know how a business is run.
Some tenants need to be evicted.
How is the moratorium not an illegal taking by government?
This is why the china backed demmies put justices through the ringer. Make them little weaklings.
Kavanaugh was not Establishment when he won. The China backed demmies needed him to represent weakness for the rest of his life which is why they put him through so much then.
effing cowards. the CDC does not possess the constitutional authority, period. Shutting it down now should prevent it from happening again.
