Three liberal justices dissented

Of course They do, because it’s never about the law to them it’s always politics

Their decisions can be prejudged because you always know what’s going to happen

People will have to pay the rent to which they agreed when they signed heir lease. Aw, ain’t its awful?

((Yay))

Apparently 19 billion dollars a month was lost by landlords, some of whom are average people who rented their 2nd house or upstairs rooms for income. Not just professional big name apartment companies. Not that those companies don’t deserve what they offer to the renters for money——they do.

Actually, Kavenaugh threw Biden a bone last time and Joe just rubbed his nose in it. Kavenaugh is the one I felt most confident on this one.

I read the majority opinion. The court did not get into constitutional law; it held only that the CDC exceeded the authority granted in Section 361(b) of its 1944 enabling act, noting that preventing evictions for unpaid rent would be akin to the CDC ordering grocery stores to deliver groceries to persons at no charge, computer companies being ordered to manufacture and distribute free computers, or telecommunications companies being ordered to provide free wireless internet.

This is consistent with judicial restraint, which calls for judges to decide cases as simply as possible and without resorting to constitutional law pronouncements when another means of deciding the case, such as statutory construction, are available.

They indicated that Congress alone could impose future moratoria on evictions. But the court does not recognize that this swerves into at least two areas of constitutional law; first, the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment; and second, the 9th and 10th Amendment restriction on the federal government’s sphere within its specifically enumerated powers. Evictions are a matter of state law (except in the cases where a federal bankruptcy petition is involved). Congress has no right to supplant its judgment over that of state legislatures when it comes to state real property law, under which evictions are conducted.

I'm still waiting for spineless, bottom feeding crustacean judge roberts, to explain the "no political bias in the court system" remark...
