This one was not hard to predict…
In fact we told you from the very beginning this was highly unconstitutional and would never stand.
We also told you it was a ploy to buy votes from people who thought they were getting something for free.
Guess what?
You all just got rug-pulled again if you believed this because just like we told you would happen, suddenly just days after the Midterms the student loan debt cancellation is going bye-bye.
Struck down by a federal judge.
Gee, what timing!

From Reuters, here are more details:
A federal judge in Texas on Thursday ruled that President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt was unlawful and must be vacated, delivering a victory to conservative opponents of the program.
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of former Republican President Donald Trump in Fort Worth, called the program an “unconstitutional exercise of Congress’s legislative power” as he ruled in favor of two borrowers backed by a conservative advocacy group.
The debt relief plan had already been temporarily blocked by the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals while it considers a request by six Republican-led states to enjoin it while they appealed the dismissal of their own lawsuit.
The judge’s ruling came in a lawsuit by two borrowers who were partially or fully ineligible for the loan forgiveness Biden’s plan offered. The plaintiffs argued it did not follow proper rulemaking processes and was unlawful.
Total repudiation:
Repudiation. Judge to Joe Biden: “In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone. Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government.” | Just The News https://t.co/ySvQp7v0gm

From John Solomon’s JustTheNews:
A federal judge in Texas on Thursday night struck down President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, calling it one of the most egregious executive overreaches in presidential history.
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman made the decision in a case brought by two Americans and supported by the small business group Job Creators Network.
“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,” Pittman wrote.
Pittman wrote Biden’s plan violated the separation of powers in the Constitution.
“In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone. Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government,” he wrote.
“The Court is not blind to the current political division in our country. But it is fundamental to the survival of our Republic that the separation of powers as outlined in our Constitution be preserved.”
Here’s what they wanted us to pay for:
A new survey of Biden student loan bailout recipients found…
➡️52% say they’ll use their extra $ to buy clothes
➡️46% say they’ll go on vacation or out to eat more
➡️28% say they’ll buy drugs or alcohol
➡️27% say they’ll gamble moreWe will pay $500B more in taxes for this.
