Federal Judge Vacates Biden's Loan-Cancellation Executive Order, Declaring It Unconstitutional

Dead, for now.

A federal judge in Texas on Thursday struck down the Biden administration's student-debt forgiveness plan, imperiling a key administration priority that would have canceled up to $20,000 in student loans for tens of millions of borrowers. The Biden administration's plan is an "unconstitutional exercise of Congress's legislative power" that also failed to go through normal regulatory processes, Judge Mark Pittman of the Northern District of Texas wrote in a 26-page opinion.

"No one can plausibly deny that it is either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch, or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States," Mr. Pittman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump wrote.
The Biden administration can appeal the verdict. The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The lawsuit is one of several brought by Republican officials and conservative groups. Another suit, brought by GOP officials in six states, is currently awaiting a ruling from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, which put a preliminary pause on the program last month as it considered whether the states had legal standing.

The lawless tyrannical Biden Administration has stopped taking applications for their unconstitutional and illegal loan forgiveness bribery program-- almost as if they knew all along that this was unconstitutional and would inevitably be declared to be so, and almost as if it was all just an election-season stunt to Dupe the Progs.
