Supreme Court Refuses Biden-Harris Regime’s Plea to Lift Nationwide Injunction Against Its Unconstitutional Student Loan Cancellation Scheme
he Supreme Court on Wednesday denied the Biden regime’s emergency request to lift a nationwide injunction on its latest student loan cancellation scheme. SCOTUS said in its one-page order that the appeals court handling the case is expected to “render its decision with appropriate dispatch.” There were no dissents.
The Biden-Harris Department of Education finalized the “Saving on a Valuable Education” (SAVE) plan in July 2023, just a month after the Supreme Court rejected Joe Biden’s earlier loan forgiveness scheme. SCOTUS ruled on June 30, 2023 that the regime lacked authority to implement such a policy. In a 6-3 decision, the Court struck down the plan as unconstitutional, citing the massive $430 billion-plus impact on the federal budget without express authority from Congress.
When Biden announced his intention to implement Education Dept.’s revised plan earlier this year, it was immediately challenged by multiple states led by Missouri.
“The President does not get to thwart the Constitution when it suits his political agenda,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey declared on April 9. “I’m filing suit to halt his brazen attempt to curry favor with some citizens by forcing others to shoulder their debts.”
Joining AG Bailey in filing the second suit were the attorneys general of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oklahoma.
In the suit, the States asserted, “Just last year, the Supreme Court struck down an attempt by the President to force teachers, truckers, and farmers to pay for the student loan debt of other Americans—to the enormous tune of $430 billion. In striking down that attempt, the Court declared that the President cannot ‘unilaterally alter large sections of the American economy.’ Undeterred, the President is at it again, even bragging that ‘the Supreme Court blocked it. They blocked it. But that didn’t stop me.’”
The States noted, “Yet again, the President is unilaterally trying to impose an extraordinarily expensive and controversial policy that he could not get through Congress. This latest attempt to sidestep the Constitution is only the most recent instance in a long but troubling pattern of the President relying on innocuous language from decades-old statutes to impose drastic, costly policy changes on the American people without their consent.”
“The Supreme Court unanimously upheld our court order BLOCKING Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s illegal student loan cancellation scheme,” Bailey posted on X, adding that today’s decision was “a HUGE victory for the working Americans who won’t have to foot the bill for the Biden-Harris Ivy League bailout.”
In a press release, Bailey noted that this is “the second time the Supreme Court has sided with my office against one of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ unlawful student loan cancellation schemes.” He added: “This court order is a stark reminder to the Biden-Harris Administration that Congress did not grant them the authority to saddle working Americans with $500 billion in someone else’s Ivy League debt.”
