Joe Biden’s so-called “most generous ever” student debt forgiveness plan was slapped with a recent lawsuit from a seven-state coalition to halt its unconstitutional attempt to pass the burden on Americans who have no college debt to pay the bill for borrowers.
According to their complaint, “Just last year, the [U.S.] Supreme Court struck down an attempt by the President to force teachers, truckers, and farmers to pay for the student loan debt of other Americans—to the enormous tune of $430 billion,” highlighting that the top court had outright told that Bien must not bypass the Congress to implement a program that could damage the economy.
“Undeterred, the President is at it again, even bragging that ’the Supreme Court blocked it. They blocked it. But that didn’t stop me,’” the motion pointed.
The complaint was led by Missouri and was joined by Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oklahoma. The move comes weeks after 11 other GOP-led states filed a separate lawsuit against Biden’s plan.
“With the stroke of his pen, Joe Biden is attempting to saddle working Missourians with a half trillion dollars in college debt,” quipped Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) in a statement on April 9.
“The United States Constitution makes clear that the President lacks the authority to unilaterally ‘cancel’ student loan debt for millions of Americans without express permission from Congress.”
“The President does not get to thwart the Constitution when it suits his political agenda. I’m filing suit to halt his embarrassing attempt to buy the 2024 election in direct violation of the law. The Constitution will continue to mean something as long as I’m Attorney General,” Bailey added in a post on X.
Meanwhile, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin remarked, “President Biden has already lost on this question once, and he is refusing to follow the law. The Supreme Court could not have been clearer: President Biden cannot unilaterally cancel student debt and force taxpayers to bear the multi-billion-dollar cost.”
The lawsuit blasted Biden’s student loan forgiveness as part of “a long but troubling pattern of the President relying on innocuous language from decades-old statutes to impose drastic, costly policy changes on the American people without their consent.”
Biden recently announced his newest plan to forgive student loans, focusing on slashing loans that have exceeded their principal amount due to interest.
Bailey quipped, “We beat his unlawful student loan plan in court last summer, so he quickly rolled out Plan B. Now that we’re challenging that, he’s panicked and is rolling out a Plan C. We will continue to watch him closely and take action whenever he’s overstepped his authority.”
