Yesterday, Congresswoman Maxine Waters Tweeted this about the CDC eviction moratorium:
That is some brazen advocacy for tyranny.
She’s saying that even though the Supreme Court upheld ending the eviction moratorium, stating that the CDC had exceeded its existing statutory authority, the Supreme Court lacks the teeth to enforce their decision so President Biden and the CDC should just ignore the Supreme Court and do what they want anyway.
Today, President Joe Biden made this statement:
Holy fucking shit.
Biden is admitting that Constitutional scholars and the Supreme Court said that what he wants to do is illegal, but he’s going to have the CDC do it anyway, because fuck ’em, who’s going to stop him while he runs out the clock.
This is the essence of despotism.
The President is knowingly, willfully, deliberately, and brazenly violating the law, but doesn’t care because he’s in control of Federal Law Enforcement and his party is won’t impeach him, so he can do what he wants because nobody is going to stop him.
The CDC released its new moratorium.
Here are some of the standards by which people are protected from eviction:
(4) What does “taking into account other nondiscretionary expenses” mean?
If a tenant spends $1,000 per month on Amazon prime and only pays $300 in rent, is that allowed?
“But it’s for my stay-at-home job. Prove it’s not.”
(5) If the eviction means the person has to move back in with their parents, they can’t be evicted?
(6) Here’s the current CDC map of COVID transmission:
Everywhere that is red or yellow is substantial or high rates of transmission and renters cannot be evicted.
Pretty much most of the country is under the new moratorium, and the burden will be on landlords to prove that their tenants are deadbeats wasting their money instead of paying rent and that if they are evicted they can still land on their feet in a new place. That will burden will be so costly that I doubt many landlords will take action. Put money into the legal fight to prove their tenants are in fact deadbeats just to have a judge rule against them because they are in a red zone or whatever and be out even more than had they not tried to evict them.
And what about the landlords that do evict people?
Fuck them into the ground, that’s what.
Understand that this was not a law passed by Congress.
This is an order signed by Rochelle Walensky, M.D., Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An unelected bureacurat.
But under Biden, it has the force of law, because fuck SCOTUS, he can do what he wants.
New levels of Despotism.
