New lawsuit also takes aim at Biden's Academia bailout

Filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) on behalf of the Brown County Taxpayers Association, the lawsuit contends that the Biden administration’s “One-Time Student Loan Debt Relief Plan” violates the core tenets of the Constitution’s separation of powers doctrine, with the legal group arguing that “Biden created [the] program unilaterally and without any legal authority from Congress.”

“That’s not how lawmaking works in America, at least since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, when the Founding Fathers complained that King George III imposed ‘Taxes on us without our Consent’ and with them ‘erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance,’” the lawsuit reads. “President Biden’s fiat here is nothing more than a modern-day Stamp Act — a massive taxing and spending policy passed without participation of the People’s representatives.”
