The 8th Circuit US Appeals Court blocked Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program on Friday afternoon.
The court granted an emergency stay barring the discharge of any student debt until the court decides on a request for a longer-term injunction.
Reuters reported:
A U.S. appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel billions of dollars in college student debt, one day after a judge dismissed a Republican-led lawsuit by six states challenging the loan-forgiveness program.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency stay barring the discharge of any student debt under the program until the court rules on the states’ request for a longer-term injunction while Thursday’s decision against them is appealed.
The St. Louis-based appeals court also ordered an expedited briefing schedule on the matter

JoeTatoes everywhere are saddened.
This is awesome news. Especially as the Supreme Court declined to block it yesterday. Relying on the HEROES Act to write off a trillion dollars without Congress is obviously illegal and unconstitutional.
The case was immediately appealed to the Eighth Circuit, which put an administrative stay on the Arbusto stooge's decision.
Just in time for the election.
I don’t think it was the heroes act. I think he used some old provision relating to national disasters.
“this is going to make Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney a hole very sad...”
Nope. She didn’t rule on the merits of the case, and she may very well vote against the Loan Forgiveness Program when it comes before the SCOTUS.
She denied an emergency stay, meaning the case had to go through the normal appeals process in lower courts. Well, guess what, a lower court blocked the Loan Forgiveness Program just 24 hours later.
Very, very few emergency appeals are granted.
If you ask for an emergency stay:
1) You’re asking to skip the normal judicial process.
2) You’re asking to skip ahead of all other cases that were filed before you filed your case.
Seldom see emergency appeals granted by the SCOTUS, if they granted them regularly you’d have 10,000 cases waiting before the SCOTUS.
It was the HEROES Act that referenced “national emergencies” but it was meant for 9-11 soldiers and not for a post-pandemic vote buying scheme.
Agreed. The knee jerk attacks on this forum on anyone who doesn’t do what we want is as juvenile as the left’s identical orientation
I retired as an enlisted man at the grade of E-8/1SG. A black friend retired at the same grade send all his kids on full ride scholarships because they were black. I had to pay for my son 100% while working overseas; my son is Asian but I couldn’t get a dime from East Carolina Univ. I had enough saved from the time of his birth to pay $44K or about two years. I paid about $10K a year out of pocket.
Now I had an interesting run in with the Administration. Part of my son’s annual application package included a mandatroy Student Loan Application - it was required they said. I took it the NC State AG and told ECU that if I paid my son’s tuition out-of-pocket there was no reason to allow my son to fill out a student loan application. My son had many friends who were on scholarship who got about $17K a year from Student Loan Applications paid direct to them and those kid’s parents never knew.
The Colleges force the Student Loan Application upon kids and this is why they all end up with student loans.
My black friend got bit in A$$ because both his kids took out Student Loans... I guess there is some justice after all. He thought he was beating the system on his Race, only to find out his kids ended up taking about 90K each; he say’s he will never be able to pay it back but he is trying.
Denied on basis of standing. Suit was filed by a group of taxpayers. Taxpayers by themselves cannot sue to force changes in policy. Long established precedent.
No, it will only make people who don’t understand her ruling mad.
These two weeks leading up to the election are only going to get worse and worse.
1. Sorry, no loan forgiveness
2. Oops! NM found out that Dominion is erasing Republican votes
3. Biden falls asleep during an interview
4. ALL D candidates are getting crushed in every new poll
5. Firms are pumping up stocks, trying to keep it buoyant, which means we’ll have a spectacular crash soon.
6. Gas prices are hanging by a thread and the only thing keeping prices stable is the SPR
7. Early voting looks really weak for the Democrats
Maybe the reason she rejected the appeal is because the lower courts hadn’t heard the case yet.
What? Biden fell asleep during an interview?? OH MY GOODNESS.... where??
Amy didn’t hear the case BECAUSE it had not gone through the lower court!! I am not sure how the case ended up at SCOTUS before the lower courts had heard it first!!
