A few weeks back Joe Biden announced his unilateral executive action to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars, maybe even a trillion, in student debt from those who borrowed the money and spent it to taxpayers.
It’s in court in a number of cases challenging his authority for that.
But he’s now announced in a video interview that it’s all right – he has « signed a law » to cancel student loan debt after he « got it passed by a vote or two. »
A longer clip to show context:
Only he hasn’t signed a law, or gotten it passed, because there was no congressional action. There was no law. The only action on the issue was his executive order.
A commentary at PJ Media on Biden’s wild claim drew this response: « Presidentish Joe Biden’s latest lie is so big that he’d have to be desperate or senile to tell it. Maybe together we can figure out which one Biden is – this time. »
It continued:
In a commentary at Fox News by law professor and constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, he said, of Biden’s bragging about signing a law after it was passed « by a vote or two. »
« That boast is particularly embarrassing because the administration is in court claiming that he did not need to get congressional approval for the plan. It is likely to be raised by challengers in the next stage of litigation. It also may reflect a moment of actual clarity in his subconscious mind, a faint recognition of the constitutional principles that he once defended as a United States senator, » Turley wrote.
« There are significant constitutional questions raised by Biden’s half trillion dollar loan giveaway – an acknowledgment made by one of the courts ruling against challengers on standing grounds.
