A federal judge in Texas struck down President Biden's student loan handout in a Thursday night ruling.
Biden's plan, which aims to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients in college and up to $10,000 for others who borrowed using federal student loans.
"Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine. Still, no one can plausibly deny that it is either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch, or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States," United States District Judge Mark Pittman wrote.

Good
Biden doesn’t have to pay for the votes he purchased with his student loan forgiveness plan. Brandon wins. The deadbeats lose.
A rare slap in the face to a dictatorial executive branch.
Hooray! I’ll take any good news I can get.
That’s ok the dems just want to use it for the next election anyway.
Could be used in Georgia election
Most of us said this would happen. The president doesn’t spend money. The Congress does.
Guess lots of vacation plans and dinner reservations are now on hold! :-)
the day after election day ... what a coinkydink ...
The jokes on you, kiddies.
So impeach him for violating the constitution.
Go Trump and The Republic ☑️
vs
Executive Order 12631
But the RAT party got the benefit nationwide for the Midterm election saying look what I did for you. It worked and screwed the GOP.
Good.
Time they learned Econ 101 - and not the marxist version.
They have already spent the money.
Well, Biden is arguably the most corrupt person to ever (pretend to) hold the presidency. Makes sense that his Executive actions are as corrupt as the rest of his grift.
The fist thing the GOP should do is get rid of Biden executive orders…
This allows any President to be a dictator…
The GOP is the stupid party….totally useless at the federal level
If someone has a college degree they should be able to read the Constitution.
This is sixth grade level stuff. Congress controls the purse.
