optimistic based on what i heard and saw today that the court is going to reel back that executive overreach and that presidential limitation on power. john: of course several times in the past decisions from the supreme court have surprised republicans the way they went. if president biden wins this case, madam secretary, really raises the question to what the limits are on presidential powers, and that fact is not lost on nebraska s attorney general, who said if mr. biden s actions are found lawful, you can bet that future republican and democratic administration s will scour old and obscure laws to find dubious legal hooks to achieve. and he is putting it on both sides, the president can declare emergency on whatever he or she chooses and take the purse strings from congress and say we are going to spend money on this because it s an emergency. absolutely, and all comes back to the interpretation of the heroes act and are we really
it. but we know the president doesn t have this power technically. the real question is what pressure will the court face and how sort of liberally will they look at the law. this is a really dangerous precedent. that basically any mistake that you make or not even a mistake, people willingly get into debt to go to college with the hope of getting the good job and accomplishing what they want to in life. sometimes that happens, sometimes that doesn t. if you think the president is the one supposed to bail you out, in general we ve become too accustomed to bailouts as it is, there s a real problem here. it will help people that don t deserve the help. i m personally for equality, not equity, but that would be their argument. sandra: many instances, policies enacted by this administration hurt the people that say they re out to help the most. case in point, inflation. that is hurting the lower income earners more than anyone, this is far left democrat ilhan omar today.
united states. yes, it is absolutely that question john, and it was clear from the line of questioning there s a lot of skepticism about the program that s been rolled out and stopped for this court case. the question is, and the unspoken line of questioning, was has congress actually granted this power. congress had three chances during the covid relief packages to add student loan cancellation to the legislation. it did not. it only said forebearance, just suspending interest payments was ok. so they had every opportunity to speak into it. what the biden administration what president biden saw was a politics and wrapped it in a policy and this after he himself said during campaigns that he did not think there was the authority. nancy pelosi said there was no authority. suddenly they seem to find authority but there s a lot of obviously a question about that.
border patrol sources tell us the bust took place during a traffic stop on a highway in the san clemente area of orange county, 75 miles inland from the southern border, highlighting the fact the fentanyl will evaded detection at the border. congresswoman young kim reacted, today enough fentanyl to kill all of california and more was found in orange county. this crisis puts lives in danger. the biden administration must get serious about the border. border patrol has made several other fentanyl busts between ports of entry in just the last two weeks alone. that includes the remote desert east of nogales, arizona, the photos you are looking at here, agents caught a group of drug smugglers carrying 24 pounds of fentanyl after they crossed illegally. and earlier this month, take a look at this image. border patrol agents in yuma, arizona seizing 93 pounds of fentanyl, a drug smuggler had in a bag after he entered the u.s. illegally and guys, the numbers
because of these lawsuits. we feel pretty confident in our legal authority to provide relief to these student borrowers. you were there for the oral arguments, heard the questions the justices were asking and based on the political tilt of the court, how do you think this is going to go? there are a lot of questions around these modifications and waivers and so forth to heroes act, the biden administration claims the ability to forgive. i found no authority there. my four former colleagues, republican secretaries of education as well, we said there is no authority there for the secretary of education to cancel debt like this. you could forebear, you could extend the interest payments for students, but you can t just go wave a wand and massively cancel millions of student loan debts, amounts, and so this this question i think is going to soon be clarified and i m very
