[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, in the opinion of the WaPo editorial staff, Biden made an unconstitutional order, but hey - all is good. 
Hey, WaPo - this is what the courts are for.

Dumb and misleading Tweet.

The article does not argue that Biden's executive order was "unconstitutional." Instead, it argues that Biden is making a bad political decision - which he is allowed to do based on ambiguous language in the 2003 HEROES Act passed by Congress that basically gives the Sec. of Education carte blanche to amend student loan programs in during "national emergencies." The article argues that it's up to Congress - not the SC - to check Biden and clarify ambiguities in the law.

The article then goes on to argue that the SC should dismiss the case due to lack of standing because none of the litigants have a personal interest in the case. Instead, they have an ideological interest. If the SC lets this move forward, it will set a new precedent on standing and open the floodgates to ideologically driven lawsuits, further clogging up an already overworked judiciary. [/quote]
