Earlier this week but just after the midterm elections took place, a federal judge vacated President Biden’s “wave of the magic wand” attempt to wipe out a few hundred billion dollars worth of student loan debt:
A federal judge in Texas on Thursday ruled that President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt was unlawful and must be vacated, delivering a victory to conservative opponents of the program.
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of former Republican President Donald Trump in Fort Worth, ruled in a lawsuit backed by the Job Creators Network Foundation on behalf of two borrowers.
The debt relief plan had already been temporarily blocked by the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals while it considers a request by six Republican-led states to enjoin it while they appealed the dismissal of their own lawsuit.
The site to fill out an application for student load debt “cancellation” now says the following:

It’s too bad this administration can’t be honest about it, otherwise that would say something like this:
Should read, "Sorry we lied to you but thanks for the votes" https://t.co/ahEN6wqW0p

Bingo!
Or, “We regret to inform you about the Constitution.”

After the order was released Chuck Schumer called the judge “MAGA” because he’s a Trump appointee, but if this had been done for pro-Republican reasons it would have been done before the midterm elections.
