This is a decree by the Center for Disease Control, no less, that the contracts of renters with property owners be violated.
How many ways does this violate the Constitution? At least three by my count:
1) Violation of separation of powers
2) Lack of an enumerated power. The states did not delegate this power to the feds in Article I, Section 8
3) Article I, Section 10 explicitly prohibits States from "impairing the Obligation of Contracts." Clearly, the framers did not think government should impair the obligation of contracts, agreeing that no state in the Union should do so. And since the power to do so was not delegated to the feds, NO government is authorized to do so under the U.S. Constitution.
This quote from the article is especially rich:
"At the same time, Biden said that he isn't sure if the new moratorium would pass constitutional muster and expects legal challenges, but he said that some scholars he consulted think "it's worth the effort."
"I've sought out constitutional scholars to determine what is the best possibility that would come from executive action of the CDC's judgment. What could they do that was most likely to pass muster, constitutionally? The bulk of the constitutional scholarship says that it's not likely to pass constitutional muster, number one. But there are several key scholars who think that it may and it's worth the effort," he said."
In other words, the goal of the "constitutional scholars" that Biden consults with is to gut the Constitution.
Since evictions are implemented at the county level, all that is necessary to make the feds impotent in this supreme-lawbreaking is persuade your local judiciary and county sheriiff to follow James Madison's advice - refuse to assist the feds.
