The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled on President Biden's controversial proposal to move the burden of student debt from the 13 percent of the population that incurred it to the 87 percent that didn't.
The Court's decision centered on whether Biden exceeded his authority when he unveiled the $400 billion proposal. The debt relief plan faced immediate challenges and had been on hold since November, when Judge Mark Pittman ruled that the program, which would have provided borrowers with up to $20,000 in student loan relief, was “an unconstitutional exercise of Congress's legislative power.”
As American Liberty News reported at the time:
Biden's debt relief plan had already faced roadblocks from the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which temporarily paused the program while it considered a request by six Republican-led states to enjoin it while they appealed the dismissal of their own lawsuit.

Biden's debt relief program would forgive up to $10,000 in student loans for borrowers who make under $125,000 and up to $20,000 for those who received Pell Grants.
Earlier Friday, the Court ruled in favor of an evangelical Christian graphic artist who posted an online notice that she wouldn't work with gay couples to design wedding sites as it violates her religious beliefs.
On Thursday, the Court rejected race-based affirmative action in college admissions. (RELATED: Supreme Court Rules On Affirmative Action)

If you incur debt you and you alone are responsible for the payment. This “forgiveness” is just a ploy to buy voters. Only children whine about paying back themselves and that is due to poor parenting..
Our CIC (Coprolite in Chief) operates as if he alone has the authority of all three branches of government listed and defined in the U.S. Constitution. Approximately 2.5 million student loan borrowers are delinquent and are likely to vote democrat if their loans are forgiven.
I wonder how many plumbers, electricians, bakers, machinists and mechanics owe journeyman school debts. Would they be forgiven in order to fatten the democrat voter base? I could go on but suffice it to say, the student predicament is the price of the American way.
For many of us, the Constitution provides a clear bottom line that seems to have evaded the CIC’s mind. The Constitution clearly limits taxing and funding to the House and Senate. Our CIC seems to have forgotten that limitation or simply ignored it. Briefly, he doesn’t have the authority.
God bless our Supreme Court. Great job.
