“WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled for a group of Alabama landlords on Thursday and blocked President Biden from extending for two more months a nationwide pandemic-related ban on evictions.

The justices agreed with a federal judge in Washington who held the administration did not have the legal authority to extend an emergency order that had been adopted by Congress. The eviction ban was part of Congress’ COVID-19-related relief package and was then extended last year by President Trump.

“If a federally imposed eviction moratorium is to continue, Congress must specifically authorize it,” the court said in an unsigned order. Three liberal justices dissented.”
