Repeal for Resilience: CDC Mission Creep to Mission Leap
United States
Online Event: Wednesday, October 28, 2020
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has come under increased scrutiny since the outbreak of COVID-19. For years, many have warned of the risks of the agency’s changing priorities and scope. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the costs of CDC’s mission creep are clear. With only 4 percent of its $7.3 billion annual budget allocated to new infectious diseases and global threats, it left us ill-prepared for the novel coronavirus.
Still, the agency continues to expand its efforts. In September, it issued a national eviction moratorium via an emergency order. The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) is challenging the constitutionality of this action in Brown, et al. v. CDC. Join CEI for an online discussion about how the CDC went from fighting disease to banning evictions. NCLA Litigation Counsel Caleb Kruckenberg will discuss the stakes and the upcoming hearing. Michelle Minton and Sam Kazman will discuss CEI’s own history challenging the agency, in conversation with CEI President Kent Lassman.

Sam Kazman, General Counsel, Competitive Enterprise Institute
Caleb Kruckenberg, Litigation Counsel, New Civil Liberties Alliance
Michelle Minton, Senior Fellow, Competitive Enterprise Institute
Kent Lassman, President, Competitive Enterprise Institute
