Episode 12: Biden's Eviction Moratorium

President Biden announced last week that he would be instructing the CDC to extend the Trump administration's eviction moratorium that was implemented in March of 2020 due to Covid 19.  This move has been hailed as a showing of progressive bravery by many on the Left and condemned by many on the Right. But what are the principles and constitutional issues at play?  The Latter-day Freemen delve into this important issue from the perspective of the pillars of America and then discuss the constitutionality of this move by Biden.
