Federal judge declares Biden's student debt relief program unlawful

On Thursday, a federal judge struck down the Biden administration's student debt relief program, declaring it unlawful.

In his ruling, US District judge Mark Pittman sided with the Job Creators Network Foundation, who petitioned for a motion to end the program on the grounds that the government violated federal procedure.

"Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine," Pittman wrote in his ruling. "Still, no one can plausibly deny that it is either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch, or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States."
