Texas judge finds Biden's student loan forgiveness program unconstitutional, blocks it for all borrowers: District Court Judge Mark Pittman said that the program usurped the powers invested in Congress to create law. Even some supporters of the plan have admitted that the legal justification for the policy was dubious. "The Program is thus an unconstitutional exercise of Congress's legislative power and must be vacated," he concluded. The Congressional Budget Office found that the president's plan would apply to over 40 million borrowers and cost the government more than $430 billion. The administration had claimed that it would cost $240 billion. The forgiveness program had already been blocked by the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals while it considered a separate lawsuit filed by six states challenging Biden's authority to order the policy without a vote from Congress. https://www.theblaze.com/news/judge-biden-student-loan-unconstitutional Starts @ 1:21 - Fair Use -
