President Biden said Tuesday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would announce a new moratorium on evictions later in the day — before admitting that its order was “not likely to pass constitutional muster.”
The New York Times reported earlier Tuesday that the new freeze would likely be in effect for up to 60 days and apply to places with high rates of coronavirus infection.
A previous nationwide eviction freeze expired on Saturday after congressional Democrats failed to garner enough support for an extension before House members left DC to begin their August recess.
The White House had urged Congress to pass legislation extending the moratorium after the Supreme Court decided in June that the CDC overstepped its authority by enacting the ban. The court left the moratorium in place through July 31 in a 5-4 ruling but one of the five, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, warned that extending the freeze beyond that date would require legislation from Congress.
“I’ve sought out constitutional scholars to determine, what is the best possibility that would come from executive action or the CDC’s judgment? What could they do that is most likely to pass muster, constitutionally?” Biden told reporters at the White House Tuesday.
“The bulk of the constitutional scholarship says it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster … But there are several key scholars who think that it may, and it’s worth the effort.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement Tuesday that Democrats “stand ready” to work with the White House to find a way to extend the ban.

He “teeezes,” How sweet. Just like moms, teen, kids, and the rest of the teeny bop prompts these buttholes use in their propaganda.
It will be in reconciliation, they are going to transform America in one fell swoop.
To Biden, unconstitutionality is a FEATURE, not a PROBLEM.
He’ll put the ban in place, knowing full well it could be months or even a year before SCOTUS strikes it down.
IF it strikes it down.
Biden is unconstitutional.
No law making, no representative government, just some unelected s**tbag at the CDC says that everyone in America can just stop paying rent - for any reason whatsoever. What country is this?
These people need the fkn guillotine. I'm dead serious.
The desired damage to the middle class property owners will already be irreversible.
Unconstitutional - it turns property owners into slaves.
They are going to tie it to a 5 trillion dollar pork package so they can blame the republicans for not voting for the pork package which contains a few dollars for “eviction” relief.
It’s not a ban or a moratorium. It’s an illegal action by government. It is invalidating the terms of a valid contract.
The public has been sheepified and is too stupid to know it.
It takes a joint effort of Congress and the Executive to overturn a Scotus ruling
They don’t have congress, therefore it’s unconstitutional agency action and nobody has to follow it
