Joe Biden has lost again in his attempt to resurrect his student loan election bribe.
We told you about the federal judge in Texas who blocked his illegal bribery program and the Biden administration sought to get an appeals court to life the block. But the court wouldn’t do it.
Here’s more via NBC News:
A federal appeals court on Wednesday declined to put on hold a Texas judge’s ruling that said President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt was unlawful.
The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Biden administration’s request to pause a judge’s Nov. 10 order vacating the $400 billion student debt relief program in a lawsuit pursued by a conservative advocacy group.
The decision by Fort Worth, Texas-based U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman was one of two nationally that has prevented the U.S. Department of Education under Biden from moving forward with granting debt relief to millions of borrowers.
The administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to similarly lift an order by the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that, at the request of six Republican-led states, had barred it from cancelling student loans.
A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit in Wednesday’s brief order declined to put Pittman’s ruling on hold while the administration appealed his decision, but the court directed that the appeal be heard on an expedited basis.
The panel included two Republican appointees and one judge nominated by former Democratic President Barack Obama. Pittman was appointed by former Republican President Donald Trump.
From the sound of it, the Obama appointee joined the two Republican appointees to put the kibosh on Biden’s request. That says a lot.
The appeal will be expedited but I can’t imagine the courts overturning these blocks and allowing Biden to proceed with his student loan bribes.
