    Elizabeth Warren and Cori Bush are fighting an 'extremist' Supreme Court on the eviction ban by introducing a bill to keep renters in their homes until the pandemic is over (msn.com)

    Extremist? What makes it extremist? That it didn't rule in favor of what they wanted? More power in the Executive Branch of the government?

    The Constitution gives the power to make law EXCLUSIVELY to Congress. NOT the Executive Branch.

    Exactly. That is all SCOTUS said. If you want to do this, you need current specific legislation, not some vague tangential wording out of 77 year old legislation regarding WWII era power to quarantine.

    The Court warned them when they issued the temporary stay that extending it would require legislation and then Pelosi/Schumer/Warren/Bush, didn't bother. They then found out that the Court wasn't bluffing, and now by simply doing their job they are "fighting an activist Supreme Court"? It's "activist" to require legislation in a representative democracy before you burden another's rights? These folks on the Left with all this buzzword salad are confident that those they have influence over are completely ignorant. Hopefully their confidence is poorly placed.

    Since the pandemic won't be "over" that is long enough that the buildings fall to the ground from lack of maintenance.

    Yes but since the congress doesn't like making laws for political reasons we seem to have reverted to an executive order reviewed by the judicial system as a substitute. Making laws should be hard - even harder than it is today. But that doesn't give congress the right to ignore its duty.
