WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge in Missouri put a temporary hold on President Joe Biden’s latest student loan cancellation plan on Thursday, slamming the door on hope it would move forward after another judge allowed a pause to expire.
Just as it briefly appeared the Biden administration would have a window to push its plan forward, U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp in Missouri granted an injunction blocking any widespread cancellation.
Six Republican-led states requested the injunction hours earlier, after a federal judge in Georgia decided not to extend a separate order blocking the plan.
The states, led by Missouri’s attorney general, asked Schelp to act fast, saying the Education Department could “unlawfully mass cancel up to hundreds of billions of dollars in student loans as soon as Monday.” Schelp called it an easy decision.
Biden’s plan has been on hold since September, when the states filed a lawsuit in Georgia arguing Biden had overstepped his legal authority. But on Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge J. Randal Hall decided not to extend the pause after finding that Georgia doesn’t have the legal right to sue in this case.
Hall dismissed Georgia from the case and transferred it to Missouri, which Hall said has “clear standing” to challenge Biden’s plan.

I have a suggestion, since these “kids” are so adamant to have their “student loans” forgiven, I recommend that they PAY OFF THE DEBT with work in kind. No Cash, just “honest” hard work. Say 60-90 days. Give them all nice Orange Jumpsuits to wear while working.
Since the Govt knows exactly who all these deadbeats are, give them a choice PAY YOUR DAMN LOAN or pick up a shovel and go to the flooded areas in NC and help CLEAN UP from the disaster.
FREE ROOM AND BOARD while working, OR turn all these loans over to debt collection groups and watch the fun. It’s past time for these “kids” to start acting like RESPONSIBLE ADULTS!!
“”Give them all nice Orange Jumpsuits to wear while working.””
Perhaps 90 days at the Harris Beef Ranch right off of Interstate Hwy 5 in Kalifornia. Many, many moons ago, we were driving on Hwy 5. Long before you can see the ranch, you can definitely smell it. There were men in jumpsuits shoveling all of the steer excrement into trucks.
Send in the repo man. Find any asset, like bank deposits, cars, stocks, whatever and tow them away. This of course would only be for those not paying them off.
Good. Installed president Burden is not a king and can’t cancel contracts with an executive order.
THEY CANNOT PAY OFF $60,000 with 60 days of “work”.
$1000/Day for maybe 8 hours? $125 an hour???
They have been ingrained with PARTICIPATION TROPHY ATTITUDES
THEY NEVER WILL ACTUALLY WORK.
WHEN YOU GO TO YOUR LOCAL NURSERY & BUY “BANDINI STEER MANURE” FOR YOUR GARDEN-—WHERE DO YOU THINK IT COMES FROM??????
That is all.
