Republicans are readying lawsuits to block Biden's student debt plan
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/republicans-are-readying-lawsuits-to-block-biden-e2-80-99s-student-debt-plan/ar-AA11lRA4Republican state attorneys general and other leading conservatives are exploring a slew of potential lawsuits targeting President Bidens plan to cancel some student debt challenges that could limit or invalidate the policy before it takes full effect.
In recent days, a number of GOP attorneys general from states including Arizona, Missouri and Texas have met privately to discuss a strategy that could see multiple cases filed in different courts around the country, according to a person familiar with their thinking who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the confidential talks.
Were going through that analysis right now, not only in Arizona but other states, Attorney General Mark Brnovich said later Thursday. You have a dangerous precedent. Any time any president thinks they can unilaterally dismiss debt or transfer wealth from one group to another group, its a huge power grab. The ends cant justify the means.
Other influential conservatives including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and allies of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank are mulling their own options as they ratchet up criticism of Bidens debt-relief plan, two additional people familiar with the matter said. And a conservative advocacy group founded by a major Trump donor said it would file a lawsuit against the policy.
