So far no one has filed suit over it, and until or unless someone does it will march forward—it looks like the GOP didn’t have anything ready to go but maybe they are analyzing the details.

This move by Biden is hurting him and the Democrats. Let them twist in the wind for a while.

Whoever files will need legal standing.

“So far no one has filed suit over it...

To my limited but nonzero understanding of the legalities, this presents a very sticky problem. To wit:

Nobody can functionally (meaning; not immediately thrown out of court) bring suit unless and until they can show they were harmed. And even if their taxes go up or their broccoli costs more, or both, it’s going to be devilishly hard to show that A caused harm B to party C.

The USSC is a court of appeal. That means that a suit has to go through a lower court and (in crude terms) one or the other party is dissatisfied by the lower court’s finding. Well, if any such suit cannot get to/through a lower court, it can’t get to the USSC.

Honestly, I do not see how, eg; by what mechanism this loan amnesty gets countermanded. True, anyone with a functioning brain understands it’s unconstitutional as it’s a spending bill that did not originate in the House. But we do not have functioning brains making these kinds of edicts.
