Never a group to fear pushing unpopular policies in an election year, Republicans from eleven states filed suit against the Biden Administration to revoke the Saving on a Valuable Education program, a student loan forgiveness program that eliminated payments for 150,000 people who had 10-year-old loans of less than $12,000 and reduced payments for tens of thousands of others.
According to the Washington Post, the states, led by Kansas Attorney General and guy who was assigned by Donald Trump to find all the illegal voters from the 2016 election (but never did) Kris Kobach, claim Biden overstepped his authority to eliminate debt or lower payments without ever explaining why eliminating the student debt would be a bad thing.
Kobach relies on the same legal arguments he used to undermine earlier Biden attempts for widespread loan forgiveness. “In completely brazen fashion the president pressed ahead and implemented another version of the student loan forgiveness program,” Kobach crowed in a statement after filing the lawsuit, which was joined by the AGs of Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah.
