The Nation: Biden Eviction Moratorium ‘Act of Presidential Civil Disobedience’
by Breitbart
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
An essay published on Monday in the Nation celebrated the author’s self-described “double standard” as he heaped praise on President Joe Biden for disregarding a Supreme Court opinion and ordering a new eviction moratorium purportedly aimed at keeping people home as the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus spreads rapidly across the country.
The author celebrated the president’s “civil disobedience” despite having accused former President Donald Trump of illegal “use of executive power.”
I have noticed that @JoeBiden's eviction moratorium has been met with a chorus of boos from us "rule of law" folks. But I can't go along with the choir. I stand with @CoriBush. If you take a SCOTUS L you take an L, but you try to the last to stop sufferinghttps://t.co/rJmArL9mYA

The essay, penned by the magazine’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal, is titled “Biden’s Eviction Moratorium Is a Rare Act of Presidential Civil Disobedience” with a caption claiming that despite the high likelihood of the Supreme Court striking the moratorium down, Biden’s decision to heed the call of Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) “was the right and righteous thing to do.”
“Despite being failed by the mass of Congress members, Biden yielded to righteous voices and ordered the CDC to issue a new moratorium,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, it won’t work—much as I wish it would,” he admitted. “The Biden administration’s defense is unlikely to hold up.”
