June 30, 2023 3:00pm EDT Jonathan Turley says Biden's student debt forgiveness stood little chance before SCOTUS: 'Bordered on obscene' Supreme Court decides 6-3 that Biden's student loan bailout plan cannot go forward
By Fox News Staff | Fox News
Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley joined "America's Newsroom" Friday after the Supreme Court struck down President Biden's student loan relief plan. Turley said the decision is the latest instance where the administration "overreached on their authority," calling it "absurd" for Biden to enact the plan without Congress' approval.
JONATHAN TURLEY: This is a huge defeat for the Biden administration, politically and legally. It is only the latest such defeat where the president has overreached on his authority. Previously, the president argued that he could use the CDC as the basis for the eviction moratorium during the pandemic, even though many of us said that he clearly lacked that authority, he went ahead and did it anyway. In fact, he admitted that by the time the courts might strike down his efforts, he could get a lot of money out the door. Well, that's a level of contempt that does not sit well with courts. In this case, you have the Heroes Act, which is just a few pages long, and was clearly designed to help people who are serving abroad in military conflicts so that they didn't have to worry about their college tuition payments. The use of the Heroes Act for this massive loan forgiveness program was absurd, and bordered on the obscene. I mean, it was clear that they could not get this through Congress and that they decided to come up with this novel theory to circumvent Congress. What was really unbelievable to watch is that the Democrats applauded him for that. He essentially made Congress a functional nonentity and half of Congress gave him a standing ovation.

It's been a great couple of terms watching the High Court strike down one liberal sacred cow after another. Their little woke heads have to be spinning trying to figure out where and how to do all the damage control. A little Cloward Piven right back in their faces.
