Obiden Student Loan ‘Forgiveness’ Not in the Clear, Legal Challenges Will Emerge

As the Obiden Regime tries to keep the campaign promise to “cancel” $10,000 in federal student loan debt, legal challenges will emerge—and rightfully so.

Nothing is free, and the middle class—which The Regime claims to care about—will foot the bill for this atrocity.

And we may anticipate that once this proposal by The Regime faces legal challenges, they will be see fit to change course.

This from redstate.com.

We’re very concerned that it is going to get held up in court and leave borrowers in limbo.

Hardworking Americans—small business owners, farmers, truckers—and so many more will get the shaft because of [Obiden’s] reckless decision to “forgive” student debt while the country still faces high inflation.

Taking out a student loan was a personal choice. Choices come with responsibilities, and the students who decided to take out loans should pay them back. And many already have.

Debt “forgiveness” is not the taxpayers’ responsibility; the only person responsible should be the person who took out the debt.

Dalié Jiménez, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine, said:

They very clearly narrowed their decision to this very specific national emergency hook … I think they did that probably to avoid a legal challenge or prevent it as much as possible.

It’s strategically a much better thing to do, and I think it narrows the possibility of successful challenges considerably.

It is still very vague congressional language and I don’t think Congress thought when it was passing Heroes that it was giving the department the authority to wipe out student debt.

Deputy director of the National Economic Council Bharat Ramamurti said:

Of course people can challenge actions in court, it happens all the time … It’s going to be up to the courts to decide whether those are valid claims or not. But we believe we’re on very strong legal ground.

As Bonchie from RedState reported:

Canceling student debt is illegal. But since ABC, MSNBC, CNN, and CBS have fallen in line [the Obiden] proposal, as they always do, they will do everything possible to convince the public it’s legal to “cancel” student debt and that it will “help millions of people.”

Of note: The Regime doesn’t care about those who took out student loans, worked hard, raised a family, and managed to pay off their debt.
