Late on thursday, a federal judge in texas ruled that 80-year-old (ok, fine, 79 for another 10 days) President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt was unlawful and must be vacated, delivering a victory to conservative opponents of the program.

“district judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of former president Donald Trump in fort worth, ruled in a lawsuit backed by the job creators network foundation on behalf of two borrowers.

“Pittman in a 26-page ruling wrote that the heroes act - a law that provides loan assistance to military personnel and that was relied upon by the Biden administration to enact the relief plan - did not authorize the $400 billion student loan forgiveness program.

“‘The Program is thus an unconstitutional exercise of congress’s legislative power and must be vacated,’ Pittman wrote.”
