Legal Insurrection
Suits brought by Missouri, Florida, and several other states. In many ways states, and particularly state attorney generals, have become our last line of defense against a lawless federal executive branch. The Supreme Court ruled that Joe Biden could not rewrite the terms of student loans.
Joe don’t care. He bragged he would get around it. The way he planned to get around it was complicated at one level, but simple in its essence: reconfigure repayment and other calculations to effectuate what SCOTUS said he could not do.
Two federal judges in Kansas and Missouri on Monday sided with several Republican-led states and partially blocked Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration from moving forward with a key student debt relief initiative that would cost billions of dollars.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree in Wichita, Kansas, blocked the U.S. Department of Education from proceeding with parts of a plan set to take effect July 1 designed to lower monthly payments and speed up loan forgiveness for millions of Americans.
He ruled shortly before U.S. District Judge John Ross in St. Louis, Missouri, issued a preliminary injunction barring the department from granting further loan forgiveness under the administration’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan.
