Life comes at you fast. On Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett decided not to get involved with Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness scheme, denying a Wisconsin group’s bid to block the order. That had liberals spiking the football, suggesting that it wouldn’t be possible for anyone to gain standing to challenge the president’s move.
Things shifted quickly on Friday, though. The 8th Circuit has now put an administrative stay in place, stopping Biden from moving forward with any cancellation of student debt.

Six different Republican states led the charge to get the almost certainly illegal plan blocked until the merits of an injunction can be adjudicated. Now, with the pause button pressed, litigation can move forward. And given the makeup of the 8th Circuit, it’s very likely the GOP-led states come out victorious. Eventually, things would likely reach the Supreme Court, and that’s just as bad of a playground for Biden.
He’s the left’s official legal cry-bagger wringing his hands.
Good point—even though the 8th Circuit identifies its order as an administrative stay, it actually functions as a preliminary injunction. This is procedurally bizarre to an extreme and befuddling degree. https://t.co/qXPASScJUc

Every single time a court goes against the left’s wishes, Stern is there to insist that the move was extreme, nonsensical, and contrary to procedure. Likewise, Stern has never met a decision that benefits the left that he doesn’t love. What a coincidence, right?
It’s also very rich that these people are complaining about nationwide injunctions after leftwing judges used them constantly against the Trump administration, even when they clearly weren’t justified. The left doesn’t want to live by the precedents it uses to harm its opponents. Tough luck, turnabout is fair play.
Hopefully, this is a first step in striking down Biden’s student loan forgiveness scheme. The idea that the president can, with the stroke of a pen, spend one trillion dollars in an attempt to buy votes before a mid-term is absolutely insane and tyrannical.
To be clear I think it’s all B.S. The loans shouldn’t have been given or backed by the government and should not be forgiven. That being said, if my ONLY options are forgiven the debts or sending thr Money to Ukraine then forgiving the debt should be what has backing not handing Tax payer dollars to Ukraine and then screaming socialism the second that money is going to a citizen of the country.
Nothing. Again, money to Ukraine or money to a citizen is a no brainer. The fact that everyone was screaming socialism when the vote was to give a couple hundred dollars to citizens who were forced by the government to not work and every other weekend their are enough votes to give more money to Ukraine is the most revealing thing to me.
I agree. My problem is when you make a big deal about forgiving loans and then turn around and hand the money to Ukraine. It’s so wrong and to me just as unconstitutional but no one seems to care. As long as you claim it’s for national security there is no limit to how much money Zelensky gets. If I have a choice of giving money to Zelensky or thr furthest left climate change degree graduate it goes to the American every time. To be clear, I am not in agreement with doing either but to me it stands out like a sore thumb how little the government is willing to do at home v abroad. It’s similar to the border arguments that get made. Thry are moving heaven and Earth to defend Ukraines border while the American border had been under siege for a decade with almost no response. Couldn’t find 3 billion in the budget for a wall with Republicans running the whole government. It’s all very revealing.
I agree with everything you said and yet you only make the argument when it comes to handing money to lazy AMERICANS and not when it comes to handing money to a corrupt foreign government (Ukraine). THAT is my problem with this. The outright hypocrisy. The budget, economy and ideology concerns only seem to apply when the money is going to Americans and the blinders go on when it goes to foreigners.
Pay for neither I am behind that 100%. Pay for Ukraine and call Americans grifters. I cannot get behind that. Nothing should go to Ukraine that can’t go to Americans first.
I agree with you on handing the money to Ukraine. I’m against that too, but adding a second evil (student loan forgiveness) to the first (money squandered on the Biden family piggy bank) does not make the first any more palatable.
True.
It’s not your fathers FR.
Knee jerk nonsense has long taken over.
