Atlanta, GA – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court will hold oral arguments in two lawsuits against the Biden administration to terminate the administration’s $400 billion student loan bailout. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement:

“Today, in the cases of Biden v. Nebraska and Department of Education v. Brown, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in an extraordinarily significant matter. The justices will once again have the chance to stand up for one of the Founders’ foundational doctrines – the separation of powers, a principle that is necessary to the prevention of a tyrannical government.

“Twice already – on his Covid vaccine mandate for large private businesses, and on the eviction moratorium – the Supreme Court has overturned Biden policies because the Court determined that his administration had overstepped its Constitutional authority and usurped the powers of the Congress. Today’s cases will give them the opportunity to do so a third time.

“The Congress never authorized the president to have the federal government cancel the student loan debt of some 43 million debtors. Not only did the Congress fail to authorize it, the Congress explicitly chose not to authorize it – not once, but twice during the Covid emergency.

“The stakes here could not be higher. Our founders agonized over the deliberate separation of powers. The Supreme Court should take this opportunity once again to stand up for that key principle.”
