PBS journalist Yamiche Alcindor called for the Biden administration to unilaterally extend the eviction moratorium against fears of a Supreme Court backlash.
On Monday, White House American Rescue Plan coordinator Gene Sperling held a press briefing to address the recent expiration of the federal eviction moratorium. Several reporters posed questions to Sperling regarding President Joe Biden’s stance and plans regarding any extensions in the wake of the Delta coronavirus variant.
Sperling ultimately argued that the president is"looking at every possible authority we can do" within legal merits, but Alcindor appeared to suggest Biden act unilaterally regardless of the Supreme Court’s ruling later. "Why not force the Supreme Court to make the decision, and is the decision to not go to the Supreme Court, does it have anything to do with fears that the Supreme Court might strike down the administration’s broad use of public health laws for other policies?" Alcindor asked.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously enacted an eviction moratorium that banned landlords from evicting tenants who fell behind on rent.
