Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts cited former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in his majority opinion to help explain why President Biden’s student loan handout was unconstitutional.
On Friday, Roberts released the Supreme Court’s opinion blocking Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, one of the president's major campaign promises.
In the opinion, Roberts cited then-Speaker Pelosi’s words saying the president did not have the power to cancel federal student loan debt.
"As then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi explained: ‘People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not,’" Roberts quoted Pelosi’s July 28, 2021, press conference. "‘He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.’"
"Aside from reiterating its interpretation of the statute, the dissent offers little to rebut our conclusion that ‘indicators from our previous major questions cases are present’ here," Roberts wrote, citing Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s concurring opinion.
Robert’s opinion comes as the Supreme Court hands down several high-profile cases going into the summer months.

“Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts cited former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in his majority opinion to help explain why President Biden’s student loan handout was unconstitutional.”
Perhaps Democrats should be MORE CAREFUL before telling the truth on the Congressional Floor.
Biden’s bragging that he had the best fraud machine in the world to manage any election result hasn’t exactly come back to bite him, has it?
Bidens has the free pass….
Nothings ever come from his admitted quid pro quo in Ukraine, yet Trump was impeached over it..
Nothings ever come from his clear affection for little girls… yet Trump is indicted for paying a porn star to go away…
Nothings ever come from his years of plagerism and lies…. Yet Trump is being accused of obstruction….
Now nothing will come of the big guy pulling in 10s of millions from foreign countries….yet somehow , Trump who lost 2b while Pres is the grifter…
The man is deep into Alzheimer’s so has no clue about powers. He’s just a parrot. He’s lucky to know which flavor pudding he wants for breakfast.
Justices, judges, and magistrates across the country exercise judicial discretion and analysis "within the law" 100's of times a day influenced by their political/moral bent. Judicial discretion has a political component, John.
More proof the democrats are guilty of what they accuse others of.
Huh? Roberts said something on the right side of an issue? A broken clock, and all that.
