Bummer.. to bad it didn’t depend on reasonable law abiding people.
I don’t think anybody on the Dem side is particularly worried about legal wrangling.
Right now the goal is to get that 10 grand credited to the accounts before Nov 8, 2022.
Unconstitutional since when has the Executive had power of the purse? But then, since when has the D’s been concerned with the Constitution?
Can we get Betsy to explain this to Turtle and McClueles?
DeVos was one of the cowardly cabinet secretaries who resigned during the final days of the Trump administration. Who cares what she has to say?
They'll have to pay twice. First for their own loans and now for somebody else's loan.
If Biden can open the Treasury to fund his own projects, why couldn't Trump?
Never mind, I'm asking to be BS'd again.
Might as well ask why they raided Trump's house and not Hillary's.
"THIS IS DIFFERENT", you will hear.
Yeah it is, alright.

[Excerpt:]
Despite four years on former President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, DeVos quit her post a day after the deadly U.S. Capitol siege in January, blaming the defeated president’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen for inflaming tensions as Congress prepared to certify the 2020 presidential election.
“There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me,” she said in her letter of resignation.
“It is fundamentally unfair. It is wrong,” she said. “And not only that, but it doesn’t solve any problem.”
You know who was Secretary of Education for FOUR YEARS, and didn’t solve ANY problems? Betsy DeVos. No push for freedom of speech, No protections for Conservative students, No fight against race based hiring or admissions.

This is the justification they are claiming. Seems specious to me. Depends on a national emergency when currently such emergency does not exist. If it were up to me, I would say it is bogus, but they ARE claiming a legal precedent, just not a very good one.
It’s called the Imperial Presidency, and it set a trend for the executive branch in the states to violate statutory law to rig the 2020 Election.
All it takes is a couple States to Prosecute the bad actors for Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud, Money Laundering...
Not even congress can do so. The students signed a contract.
