Biden Administration Issues New Eviction Moratorium - WSJ

The CDC said its new order will last through Oct. 3, “but is subject to further extension, modification, or rescission based on public health circumstances.”

Two takeaways:

1) This means at least 19 months of unpaid rent without consequences, in the face of massive stimulus. This is absolutely terrible policy. There are vaccines and jobs everywhere.

2) A reminder to SCOTUS that ducking issues by declaring them moot is not a viable course. Executive actions are fast and fickle with immediate ramifications. Getting a case before the Court takes months to years, long after the damage is done.
