Which doesn’t change the fact that the ruling you cited isn’t a barrier to a taxpayer attempting to make a challenge here. If the courts want to rule that taxpayers don’t have standing to challenge a President just making up laws out of thin air to spend our tax dollars, then let the courts rule that. But they haven’t ruled that yet.
I would think ANY taxpayer would have legal standing-—
Here is what you need to understand.
A law is combined effort of TWO branches of gov’t.
The congress and the Executive.
The 3rd branch is judiciary and they can not overrule a law UNLESS it is unconstitutional.
An executive order is from only the Executive branch and the judiciary has the power to contest it.
nope. we haven’t been harmed.
yet.
basically he has to forgive the loans then we have harm and can sue.
same trick they played on Trump.
There is no such thing as a student loan cancellation it’s just a transfer of who will pay for it.
I’m from the government and here to help you huh Moe.
I remember how hard it was for Trump to find 2 billion to build the wall.
He was almost impeached for using funds that were not approved by congress.
How is Biden getting away with spending $500 billions.
How come the GOP is not using the same arguments used against Trump?
The Republican establishment serves big donors and the federal bureaucracy, not the voters. RINOs lie - call themselves conservatives.
Did I say otherwise?
I said that being a taxpayer isn't enough for standing.
I didn't say that if a law affects you "directly" you don't have standing. Only that taxpayer status alone does not qualify as being "directly" affected.
