Emboldened by a historic Supreme Court ruling earlier this year, federal courts from coast to coast are erasing Joe Biden's efforts to expand his executive powers to encompass everything from imposing vaccine mandates to canceling personal debt without Congress' blessing.
With each ruling, judges are sending an unmistakable message to the 46th president: America has no kings under its Constitution.
Biden's latest repudiation came Thursday night in Texas, where a judge offered a history lesson ripped from the Federalist Papers in striking down the administration's student loan forgiveness plan that would have shifted more than $400 billion in personal debt to taxpayers without the blessing of Congress.
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman called Biden's election year gift to young voters the most egregious abuse of executive power in presidential history, equating it to the sort of tyranny the Founding Fathers sought to eradicate with the Constitution.
"In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone," the Trump-appointed jurist wrote. "Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government. As President James Madison warned, 'the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.'"
While the most colorful of the recent rulings against Biden, Pittman's message was nearly identical to those in district and appellate courts across the United States this year.

“I’m sick of executive orders, presidents do get to be king for a short time and it’s schizo/chaotic for the country.
I think the parameters should be strongly defined and limited.”
I think they might be necessary for OUR shortfuse wartime needs and national emergency needs.
That said, we should cancel everyone of them.
Biden didnt lose on this issue
He played the ignorant children and they voted for the rats
Mission accomplished
Executive orders makes him king
Too bad it couldn’t have happened 2 weeks earlier.
IMO, too many young persons voted Dem b/c of the ‘forgiveness’.
Can someone rule on the other EO before the courts. It’s taking way too long. Vax mandates for one need to be killed.
“PedoHitler” certainly does fashion himself as a king. If the Republicans get the House, before they take over, you are going to see a spending spree like never before from “PedoHitler”, you can count on it.

Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the house won’t let Biden pass legislation to cancel student loan debt. That’s one trick Biden can’t use in 2024. I’d rather have Biden use as many tricks in 2022 so that Republicans will know how to deal with them in 2024 to defeat Biden.

This is the problem. The most expensive education system on the planet and what do we have to show for it?
For all the money showered on schools today you’d think people would have learned that Congress must appropriate the funds.
This is “Schoolhouse Rock!” level of understanding. It should have been learned while watching Saturday morning cartoons.
LOL!
The new lemmings skip the thread when they find that out. heh
Boden will still do it and no one will stop him. The democrats crapped their collective Depends when Trump shifted a few billion to the border but Boden illegally cancels a trillion and “HHOORAH FOR THE CHOMO.”
After diligent search, I can’t find the actual court decision anywhere.
Odd. There are several articles out there about this. I haven’t checked every one for a link.
Thanks!!
