Standing.
Joe Biden didn’t just undermine his administration’s attempts to keep mask mandates alive with his declaration, “The pandemic is over.” Transit and schoolrooms aren’t the only places where Biden’s COVID authoritarianism has run amok, after all.
Stephen Miller made that point last night after 60 Minutes aired their interview with Biden. Miller used it as a basis for ripping Pelley’s handling of Biden, and for good reason. However, Miller raises an excellent point about Biden’s latest vote-buying initiative:
Biden did indeed rely on a pandemic emergency declaration to grant himself the authority to appropriate as much as one trillion dollars to “forgive” (pay off) student loan debt. Biden’s Departments of Justice and Education cited the HEROES Act of 2020 as the legal justification for an end-run around Congress and their exclusive jurisdiction on appropriations.
