A federal appeals court on Nov. 14 entered a ruling against the student loan forgiveness program announced by President Joe Biden’s administration earlier this year.
Erasing student loan debt would be “irreversible,” a panel of the St. Louis-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit ruled, entering an injunction against the administration pending an appeal.
The panel consisted of U.S. Circuit Judges Bobby Shepherd, a George W. Bush appointee; Ralph Erickson, a Donald Trump appointee; and Steven Grasz, another Trump appointee.
They sided with Missouri and five other Republican-led states that had sued Biden and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona after the announcement of the program, alleging that it was illegal for the executive branch to enact such widespread loan relief.
Biden administration officials have said that the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003 grants the authority for the relief, which is expected to cost about $400 billion and apply to tens of millions of Americans.
The appeals court ruling came after U.S. District Judge Henry Edward Autrey, a George W. Bush appointee, rejected the states’ suit, finding that they lacked standing to sue on behalf of the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority (MOHELA). more
And the political taxpayer con-game continues along on it’s never ending mission for the American taxpayers wallet. Voting did no good, lets go to plan B.
They don’t really care.
It served its purpose.
The young and stupid voted for Democrats who promised to give them other people’s money, didn’t they?
Mission accomplished from THEIR point of view.
Made the cheating MUCH easier, they still get to blame Republicans for stopping it, they can promise it again in ’24, AND since they stole the Senate (again) they can get all the judges they want and justify it by saying “because we need Student Loan Forgiveness.
And the young and stupid will fall for it again.
Lather, rinse, repeat…
Good thing they were able to hold off the ruling until after the election.

past time to let it burn
time to MAKE IT BURN
Like with Joe Biden helping to embezzle and launder FTX crypto to benefit himself and reprobate democrat party, Biden’s entire “student loan forgiveness” was also a scam from the start to manipulate those in school debt to vote democrat. The grifter never had it in his purview to “forgive” anyone’s debt and he knows it.
Rinse, lather, repeat in 2024.
