Breaking: Student Loan Scam Put On Hold

Red State has the story:

Life comes at you fast. On Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett decided not to get involved with Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness scheme, denying a Wisconsin group’s bid to block the order. That had liberals spiking the football, suggesting that it wouldn’t be possible for anyone to gain standing to challenge the president’s move.

Things shifted quickly on Friday, though. The 8th Circuit has now put an administrative stay in place, stopping Biden from moving forward with any cancellation of student debt.

My assumption yesterday was that Barrett didn’t want to skip over the 8th Circuit—there was no need for the motion to go straight to the SCOTUS.

I’d have to assume that this case will ultimately reach the SCOTUS, but in the meantime prospects look good for the plaintiff states:

Six different Republican states led the charge to get the almost certainly illegal plan blocked until the merits of an injunction can be adjudicated. Now, with the pause button pressed, litigation can move forward. And given the makeup of the 8th Circuit, it’s very likely the GOP-led states come out victorious. Eventually, things would likely reach the Supreme Court, and that’s just as bad of a playground for Biden.

Again, as we were discussing this morning, this is the importance of the Trump judges. And this will continue.
