A federal judge in Texas struck down President Biden's student loan handout in a Thursday night ruling.

Biden's plan, which aims to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients in college and up to $10,000 for others who borrowed using federal student loans.

"Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine. Still, no one can plausibly deny that it is either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch, or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States," United States District Judge Mark Pittman wrote.

"In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone. Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government…The Court is not blind to the current political division in our country. But it is fundamental to the survival of our Republic that the separation of powers as outlined in our Constitution be preserved.

The judge criticized the Biden Administration program, calling it 'one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States.'

Biden doesn’t have to pay for the votes he purchased with his student loan forgiveness plan. Brandon wins. The deadbeats lose.

A rare slap in the face to a dictatorial executive branch.

Hooray! I’ll take any good news I can get.

Most of us said this would happen. The president doesn’t spend money. The Congress does.

The fist thing the GOP should do is get rid of Biden executive orders…

This allows any President to be a dictator…

If someone has a college degree they should be able to read the Constitution.

This is sixth grade level stuff. Congress controls the purse.
