Court Grants Motion to Block Biden’s Student Loan Debt Plan

In open defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court, President Joe Biden has taken to bragging several times about about his student loan debt "forgiveness" plan, which he's used to buy support from young voters. Such a plan doesn't actually cancel debt, but redistributes it to hardworking taxpayers. On Monday, however, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri granted Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey a motion to block Biden's plan.

"Congress never gave Biden the authority to saddle working Americans with half-a-trillion dollars in other people's debt," Bailey's post noted, a point even then Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) acknowledged years ago. "A huge win for the Constitution," Bailey continued. 

Bailey's office also released a press release on Monday, highlighting the effort from the attorneys general of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oklahoma. Read more, see Xs and video here.
