The man who helped upend President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan in the lower courts says he is confident the Supreme Court will provide the last nail in the coffin for the administration's plans.

Sen. Eric Schmitt helped lead the legal fight against the Biden administration’s debt forgiveness agenda when he was the attorney general of Missouri.

“There is just no way on God’s green earth that the president of the United States or any one person has the ability to wipe away $500 billion to a trillion dollars of student loan debt when he is not authorized by any law to do that. It was a cynical political ploy during election season. There is no authority to do this,” Mr. Schmitt, Missouri Republican, told The Washington Times.The Biden administration appealed the case to the Supreme Court after the U.S.

The administration had asked the high court to lift the injunction, but it refused, instead taking up the appeal. The Biden administration says the COVID-19 pandemic is considered an emergency under the law, and has applied it to student loan borrowers. In their brief, the states say Mr. Biden is exceeding the authority of the HEROES Act and has no unilateral power to erase an estimated $400 billion of federal student debt.But they aren’t the only challengers the high court will hear from on Feb. 28, when the Biden administration is set to defend its plan.

Eric_Schmitt Wondering if there is authority in the polluted water that you support? Wondering if there is constitutional authority to suppress black, inner city votes?

Eric_Schmitt Nobody with a brain trusts our bought and paid for, unethical, lying SCOTUS anymore. Illegitimate court packed by an illegitimate traitor.

Eric_Schmitt To be consistent - most EOs by the presidents have NO Constitutional authority nor does the Constitution give delegation authority to Congress to extend to the Executive.

Eric_Schmitt Biden bought 236,000 votes filling up a trucking pention. Cash was stolen for 15 years. So The Supreme court is going to allow Biden or any democrats to buy votes?

Student Loan Borrowers to Rally 'In Full Force' as Supreme Court Weighs Biden Relief Plan'Working people are looking to SCOTUS to follow the letter of the law and uphold critical relief for millions of student loan borrowers,' say organizers of the People's Rally for Student Debt Cancellation. Keep staying gullible, Democrats. First you bought the lie that Biden could and would cancel your debts, and now you're buying the lie that SCOTUS and Republicans are to blame for Biden acting in a lawless, unconstitutional manner.
