Turning bad faith on its head, realtors have sued in federal court to block the current evictions moratorium adopted in a pandemic by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The realtors allege that it is "bad faith" to stop owners from evicting renters.
In a pandemic. They have no shame.
But they should have.
No word on the realtors' position on why the States are taking their sweet time distributing the $46 Billion appropriated by Congress to pay rent to landlords. At last report, the States had moved some $3 Billion or about 7% of that total out of their treasuries. It is also unknown what interest, so to say, that the States gain by their delay here.
The realtors' case is pending with the same judge who ruled in their favor to strike down the earlier moratorium, Judge Patricia Dabney Langhorne Friedrich in the District Court for the District of Columbia. Her previous experience was reportedly as a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission. She was eventually nominated for the federal bench in 2017.
