President Joe Biden changed his position on the legality of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) eviction moratorium, issued earlier this week, telling reporters that he “can’t guarantee” that the move is Constitutional but that his administration could “keep this going for a while” using an appeals process.
It’s not clear that Biden has been briefed on the matter; there has already been a lawsuit filed against the CDC’s extension on the eviction moratorium and the complainants are seeking a preliminary injunction on the order, given that there is the significant possibility of damages for landlords under the more targeted, but harsher, measure.
