He speaks often about democracy versus autocracy. He\u2019s issuing or overseeing this order from the CDC, in the face of doubts about its constitutionality, which he seemed to echo yesterday,\u201d Portnoy said. \u201cThere\u2019s no inconsistency here? The president is, there are many people out there who say that the President is essentially not giving voice to the ethic that he campaigned on. He didn\u2019t call Congress back, he asked Congress to act, it didn\u2019t. How do you square all that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s important to note here is that the President would not have moved forward with a step where he didn\u2019t feel comfortable and confident in the legal justification. It is also a reality that there are legal steps that have been taken by the Supreme Court in the last few months. And we\u2019ve spoken to that publicly. We\u2019re not going to hide from that,\u201d she claimed. \u201cBut he asked the CDC and his legal experts to look at what is possible. This is a narrow, targeted moratorium that is different from the national moratorium. It\u2019s not an extension of that, it\u2019s a different moratorium from a policy and legal standpoint. So he felt comfortable in the justification and the legal approach to this effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.5928143712575\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FANTASTIC question from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBSNewsRadio?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CBSNewsRadio<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stevenportnoy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@StevenPortnoy<\/a> about the legality of extending the eviction moratorium: &#8220;What&#8217;s the White House&#8217;s message, then, to Americans who\u2026are now disappointed the President is signaling that he doesn&#8217;t respect the rule of law.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ymci5wkWVl\">pic.twitter.com\/ymci5wkWVl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CurtisHouck\/status\/1422978327397154819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the White House\u2019s message then to Americans who heard what happened yesterday, heard what was said at this podium on Monday, can\u2019t square the two, and are now disappointed that the president is signaling that he doesn\u2019t respect the rule of law?\u201d Portnoy asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure there are Americans evaluating it to that degree, maybe there are some you have talked to, I don\u2019t know, what the President has his message to the American people, especially those who are concerned about losing their homes, being kicked out of their homes, is that he\u2019s going to do everything in his power to make sure they can stay in their homes as long as possible,\u201d Psaki responded. \u201cThat is not just an extension of the eviction moratorium, which obviously, a step was taken yesterday. It is also about using every tool at our disposal to get this money out. Again, states have the funding to extend the eviction moratorium in their own states. That\u2019s because there was funding in the American Rescue Plan to get that done. So that includes asking his team members of his cabinet, whether Secretary Fudge, who obviously made an announcement today, or the Department of Treasury who made an announcement about the simplification of forms, that this is a priority, that they are to use all resources at their disposal to make sure they\u2019re communicating with Americans, that we\u2019re making it easy to get this funding out, because that\u2019s the overall objective. The overall objective is not about one tool. It is about keeping people in their homes. That\u2019s the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.8059701492537\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More Portnoy: &#8220;He speaks often about democracy versus autocracy.
