The Biden administration is struggling to find its footing in the Supreme Court.
Thursday night’s decision ending the federal ban on evictions is the latest in a string of judicial reversals for President Joe Biden. Earlier in the week, the Court ordered the president to maintain the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy for asylum-seekers. This spring, Biden appointees at the Justice Department blundered into a unanimous defeat in a little-noticed criminal sentencing dispute.
In some cases, the errors were self-inflicted. The administration has enacted policies knowing they were on uncertain legal ground, doubled down on assertions picked apart in the lower federal courts, and flipped positions in pending cases only to lose by a lopsided margin. In an unusual delay, the president did not nominate a solicitor general, the government’s top representative in the High Court, until Aug. 11.
Thursday’s decision followed a June dispute over an earlier iteration of the eviction ban, in which the Supreme Court signaled the moratorium was unlawful. The Centers for Disease Control, with backing from the White House, chose to extend the eviction ban anyway, inviting a high stakes confrontation over the scope of its authority.
The bet was a bad one, as Thursday’s decision will hamstring policymakers going forward. The CDC suspended evictions under a provision of the Public Health Service Act that empowers the agency to stop the spread of communicable diseases among the states. The High Court construed that provision narrowly on Thursday, saying it only authorizes actions that directly relate to transmission reduction, such as inspections or pest extermination. But it does not, the Court stressed, sanction any policy that conceivably slows the spread of disease. MORE
“The Biden administration is struggling to find its footing in the Supreme Court.”
That’s OK, it looks like the Supreme Court has found its footing in the Biden administration’s ass.
Well gee, I trust Scotus slightly less than I trust a Muslim extremist. I know what the muzzies next move is. Who knows what our little whack job group of morons that think the Constitution needs interpreting is up to. I’ve read it many times. I’ve also read the Federalist papers. There’s not one damn article that I didn’t consider crystal.
You know, SCOTUS, if you’d wanted to keep Trump’s policies in place, you could have heard the cases on the election fraud early and saved yourselves lot of unnecessary work now.
Mr. ‘Pen and a Phone’ got an awful lot done, despite numerous SCOTUS rulings against – some even 9-0. They don’t care about rulings.
Sadly, money is a powerful force to numb-minded greedy commie liberals and like minded RINOs.
None of it matters until they flip the results of Nov. 4, 5 & 6.
We all know the results of Nov. 3rd.
SCOTUS gets no browny points for this decision, this was a classic overreach, Biden knew it, SCOTUS knew it, this was not at all conservative reaffirming.
There are a number of civil liberty cases coming down the pike, stuff on everything from religious exemptions to covid authoritarianism, more gun control nonsense, election fraud, labor unions, first amendments issues, and the constitutionality of civil (asset) forfeiture laws.
We are ever so slowly creeping towards Canada-stan, these judges need to step up.
What difference at this point does it make?
we’ll just ignore them anyway!
