Good day all. The hits from the Supreme Court just keep on coming. We had the decision banning Affirmative Action, (aka Racism), in College applications, and now the Court has just shot down Biden’s plan to spend $400 Billion dollars without congressional oversight.
This case was in regards to Bumbles Biden’s cunning plan to spend $400 Billion on student loan forgiveness. In 6-3 split decision, the Progressives in favor of unconstitutional spending and the Constitutionalists upholding the separation of powers, the Court told Biden that no, you can’t do that. Here are the details from Fox Business News:
The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Biden administration cannot go forward with its student loan debt handout program.
In a 6-3 decision, the court held that federal law does not allow the Secretary of Education to cancel more than $430 billion in student loan debt.
“The Secretary’s plan canceled roughly $430 billion of federal student loan balances, completely erasing the debts of 20 million borrowers and lowering the median amount owed by the other 23 million from $29,400 to $13,600,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. “Six States sued, arguing that the HEROES Act does not authorize the loan cancellation plan. We agree.”
Dementia Joe was not happy of course, announced that he wasn’t happy, that the sky had puppies and Goldilocks is a stack of waffles, then returned to eating some ice cream.
President Biden strongly disagreed with the court’s decision and will make an announcement later today detailing new actions to protect student loan borrowers, a White House source told Fox News Digital.
Which will also not be constitutional. It might help if Biden’s Handlers actually read the Constitution and understood that it’s Congress that spends money, not the Administrative branch.
The White House source said Biden intends to blame Republicans for denying student borrowers the relief he promised to deliver to them.
Of course he does, just as soon as his handlers pump him full of a nice cocktail of anti-dementia drugs and hope he can actually read his lines on the teleprompter.
Republicans argued Biden lacked the authority to unilaterally forgive student loans. Estimates from the Congressional Budget Office said Biden’s plan would cost taxpayers roughly $400 billion. Republicans were outraged at the total, arguing the forgiveness would be unfair to those who either paid their way through college, repaid their loans or never attended college in the first place.
You don’t think the Progressives give a damn about responsible borrowers do you? Of course not! Their goal was to flat out by votes from all those who have degrees ending in “Studies” and are pouring coffee in Starbucks and whining about how unfair it is that they aren’t being paid 6 figure salaries.
Biden’s administration had relied on a federal statute, called the HEROES Act, to enact the plan, claiming the law gave the secretary of education power to “waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the student financial assistance programs … as the secretary deems necessary in connection with a war or other military national emergency.”
I looked up the act. According to the ever so accurate Wikipedia, the act was basically meant to help people affected by military operations.
The Act allows the U.S. Secretary of Education to grant waivers or relief to recipients of student financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency. It allows waiving of statutory or regulatory requirements related to federal student loans for three categories of individuals: active-duty military or National Guard officials, those who reside or are employed in a declared disaster area, or those who have suffered direct economic hardship as a result of wars, military operations, or national emergencies.
Biden and his cronies tried to use this to waste $400 billion+ on all the deadbeats who got garbage degrees that aren’t worth the parchment they’re printed on. The Supreme Court basically said “Not so fast there bud.”
The court majority shot down that argument. “The authority to ‘modify’ statutes and regulations allows the Secretary to make modest adjustments and additions to existing regulations,” Roberts wrote, “not transform them.”
Roberts went on to say the Department of Education’s “modifications” to the law “created a novel and fundamentally different loan forgiveness program” than what Congress intended in the HEROES Act. This program effectively granted loan forgiveness “to nearly every borrower in the country,” Roberts said.
“The Secretary’s comprehensive debt cancelation plan cannot fairly be called a waiver — it not only nullifies existing provisions, but augments and expands them dramatically,” the chief justice wrote. “It cannot be mere modification, because it constitutes ‘effectively the introduction of a whole new regime’ … And it cannot be some combination of the two, because when the Secretary seeks to add to existing law, the fact that he has ‘waived’ certain provisions does not give him a free pass to avoid the limits inherent in the power to ‘modify.'”
“However broad the meaning of ‘waive or modify,’ that language cannot authorize the kind of exhaustive rewriting of the statute that has taken place here.”
I’m no expert, but I suspect this was designed to help those who enlisted in the military after 9/11 and weren’t able to pay back their loans since they were busy getting shot at by Islamic Terrorists. What the Biden Maladministration wanted to do was rewrite the law without bothering with little details like presenting a bill to Congress.
The court’s three liberal justices dissented. “The majority overrides the combined judgment of the Legislative and Executive Branches, with the consequence of eliminating loan forgiveness for 43 million Americans. I respectfully dissent from that decision,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote.
Kagen, Sotomayor and the new Biden Diversity Hire, Brown Jackson are everything that is wrong with the judicial branch. They are quick to ignore individual rights In favor of special groups and will generally side with the Government, unless it’s something so blatant they can’t get away with it. In any case, the Biden Maladministration is running 0-2 in Supreme Court Decisions this week.
