On 60 Minutes this evening, President admitted aloud that his decision to transfer up to a trillion dollars in student-loan debt to taxpayers without congressional approval is flatly unconstitutional: Why does Biden’s statement matter so much? I’ll tell you: It matters because the memo that the Biden administration released to justify his order rested entirely upon there being an ongoing emergency, and because, as Biden has just confirmed, there is no ongoing emergency. Back in August, Biden’s lawyers argued with half-straight faces that the 2003 HEROES Act — which, as Bloomberg Law has noted, was passed not as a generalized enabling act but “to help borrowers serving

Lame Duck Joe knows his student debt EO is unconstitutional. Everyone knows his student debt EO is unconstitutional, including the alphabets. But will anyone do anything to stop the unconstitutional act? So far there is silence from everyone. The bottom line is the Lame Duck Joe administration is unconstitutional.

Haven't seen 60 Minutes in a while. Are Andy Rooney and Eric Sevareid still there? Of course The First Vegetable broke the law when he said the kiddies didn't have to repay their student loans. Dictators don't have to obey the law. Quid Pro Joe is now our Comrade Stalin with Meritless Gardner the head of the KGB.

Pedo Joe is an illegal president so everything he does is illegal. Our constitution is dead and the country is almost completely destroyed. The final destruction will happen when Gavin Newsome takes over.

The Biden’s, the entire family, believe the laws do not apply to them. He considers himself king, dictator, savior all rolled into one pathological person. He lies so frequently and has for such a long time, I don’t think he can tell the truth from a lie anymore. This is our country’s leader, a pathetic, petty little man.

Want to talk about twisting the meaning of the laws, try the three-time abuse of the Defense Production Act...for ventilators (PDT), infant formula and mineral production for EVs (Biden). Let's see, there was a war on COVIDS, starving babies and a war against Global Climate Change. And now that the mopes are looking forward to a $10k (maybe $20k) check, what politician is going to stop it? The courts won't find any taxpayer with standing, either.

the most blatant, in your face, arrogant, smuggest admission of knowingly abusing and disobeying the law that has ever been made and he hasn't even, yet, begun to admit to his illegalities and lawlessness, by far the worst example of an American politician in our country's history

We'll Joe, if the Scamdemic is over, guess that voids all vaccine & mask mandates across the board doesn't it? So we don't have to wear face diapers in doctors offices and we don't have to kick out people from the military or police departments etc?

I find it inconceivable that a federal lawsuit has not been filed by McConnell or McCarthy against Biden for his illegal and unconstitutional EO on forgiveness of student loans. It is a direct violation of the Separation of Powers, and they certainly have standing to sue. And even Justice Roberts would slap Biden down.
Remember how EVERY EO that Trump issued was challenged in court by the Democrats? And they sometimes found a leftist judge to rule in their favor.
Yet, the Republican Party has challenged ZERO of Biden's policies or EO's, and his shutdown of all oil leases on federal lands.
The republican leadership isn't worth a bucket of warm spit.

For years now, we keep getting told that the EO is unconstitutional, etc and nothing is done about it.

Poster #5 - "The Biden’s, the entire family, believe the laws do not apply to them."
A reasonable belief.
Absent any evidence to the contrary.
(so far)
