    Federal Judge Strikes Down CDC’s Lawless Ban:

    “Although The COVID-19 Pandemic Persists, So Does The Constitution.”

    Last Thursday, a federal court struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s ban on evictions as unconstitutional, as the courts should be striking down any mandates or bans by the unconstitutional and unelected CDC.


    Reason.com
    reports:



    The federal government’s power to regulate interstate commerce “does not include the power to impose the challenged eviction moratorium,” wrote Judge J. Campbell Barker for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in his opinion yesterday. “Although the COVID-19 pandemic persists, so does the Constitution.”



    This ruling comes in response to a lawsuit brought by the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) and the Southeastern Legal Foundation on behalf of several Texas landlords who’ve been prevented from evicting non-paying tenants because of the CDC’s order.

    “My clients have continued to have the cost of their property, their property taxes, their mortgages, their costs of maintaining and upkeep,” says Robert Henneke, general counsel for the TPPF. “At the same time, in the last five months, they’ve been prohibited by the federal government from collecting rent. That’s caused them injury they can start recovering from here beginning today.”


    Housing advocates, who’ve long supported a nationwide eviction moratorium, are less pleased.

    It is unconstitutional to issue unfunded mandates.

    Let's take a peek at the relief package.
    Those who earn more than $80,000 annually will not qualify for the check.
    Now, you take a couple who's income is based on rent and lease, who have not received payments for 1 year are broke. But because they might make more than cut off allows, that's just too damned bad....not that it would have bailed them out. Many of these rentals are under a mortgage.
    Do you think the banks gives a damn about whether or not the clients renters paid? Of course not. They still want their money.
    Now, consider them to be small businesses that had to close down because of COVID.
    Their renters are finished there, The owners are finished here. Renters can usually find a place to live. What happens to those who cannot pay those mortgages AND have their own house on the line.
    We're looking at cascade failures...................
