BREAKING: Fifth Circuit vacates Biden student loan forgiveness program. Calls it an "unconstitutional exercise of Congress’s legislative power ..." Image
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH DIVISION MYRA BROWN, ET AL., Plaintiffs, V. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, ET AL., Defendants. No. 4:22-ev-0908-P ORDER The Constitution vests "all legislative powers" in Congress. This power, however, can be delegated to the executive branch. But if the executive branch seeks to use that delegated power to create a law of vast economic and political significance, it must have clear congressional authorization. If not, the executive branch unconstitutionally exercises "legislative powers" vested in Congress. In this case, the HEROES Act-a law to provide loan assistance to military personnel defending our nation -does not provide the executive branch clear congressional authorization to create a $400 billion student loan forgiveness program. The Program is thus an unconstitutional exercise
again, saved by Trump judges who are the only ones that can read the constitution.
All credit to him.
I bet Nancy and Co already have a bill ready to go to be slammed thru in this lame duck congress.
Well there is still time for the democrats to ram this though the legislative branch and onto Biden. I would not be surprised if they do it.
Trump’s immediate action in nominating conservative constitutional judges once he was elected was one of the shining points of his administration. Those nominations will make a difference for years to come.
I think SCOTUS will say the same. This is a sound legal decision and if SCOTUS were to reverse this it would effectively make the President into a monarch who could spend money at will absent authorization from congress.
They accomplished their goal in this election.
I don’t think they’ll spend the political capital to ram it through.
I don’t think they have the votes for this in their own caucus.
From what I understand, even if what Biden did was legally wrong nobody has standing to sue due to lack of a legal tort. Roberts is probably going to use this weasel route to vacate the injunction and not hear the case.
Countdown until Closeted Fudgepacker Roberts declares it a “tax” and revives it...
President Retard is completely out of control
Maybe they will rally for a parting shot.
He’s an outlaw
If scrotus wants to keep any credibility they say the will agree.
I don’t think the left cares that much now. This was a gambit to help get votes during the election. Now that it is over, does not matter if this gets overruled...
If it goes to SC, I’ll bet they’ll send it right back to the Fifth. Pedo Joe has to get Congress to make him King before he can do that.
Cool! Tell them to do Obamacare next.
