Has No Life - Lives on TB
It must be because the taking is not for a "public purpose". It's unconstitutional to take for a public purpose without just compensation, but to take the use of the landlord's property and give it to an individual tenant is not a public purpose.
I guess. That's the only sense I can make of it. Like when you lose a civil case in court, the judge takes from you and gives to your opponent. They had to make that constitutional or we could not have civil courts. So now the CDC is just declaring landlords to be losers to their tenants, just because they can. (Actually I think they can't, but HUD could.)
We might need a constitutional amendment to fix this problem.
It is for a public purpose.
‘This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads,’ Walensky said. ‘Such mass evictions and the attendant public health consequences would be very difficult to reverse.’
Constitutional amendments are meaningless when the people with F15s and nuclear weapons ignore the entire document and it's amendments.
