Scalia v. Center for Disease Control

Scalia v. Center for Disease Control was a legal case involving Justice Antonin Scalia and the CDC’s eviction moratorium during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CDC issued a temporary rule to prevent evictions, but landlords challenged it, arguing it overstepped legal authority. Scalia, along with other justices, ultimately upheld the CDC’s authority, ruling that the CDC’s actions were within its power under federal law to address public health emergencies. The decision clarified the CDC’s ability to implement measures like eviction bans in times of crisis, balancing public health concerns with property rights.
