The Biden Administration’s illegal plan to unilaterally cancel student loan debt is getting pushback in the courts from NCLA. NCLA represents the Cato Institute, a nonprofit organization that promotes individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peaceful international relations. The complaint argues the Biden Administration’s arbitrary one-time student loan debt cancellation scheme violates the Constitution’s Appropriations and Vesting clauses, infringing on Congress’ sole power of the purse. The program abuses the Department of Education’s discretionary power and must be set aside.

Mark is joined by NCLA's Russ Ryan to discuss the case and the recent oral argument.

NCLA Discusses Recent House Hearing on Biden Censorship Scheme

When a federal judge accedes to an agency's interpretation of the law, it essentially deprives the non-governmental party involved in the litigation of due process. Moreover, such deference undermines the judge's Article III mandate to uphold judicial independence. The notion of Chevron deference becomes particularly untenable when considering these significant drawbacks. NCLA is actively challenging Chevron in the case of Relentless v. DOC, staunchly advocating for judicial independence.

In this episode, Vec, Mark, and Jenin delve into a recent Law and Liberty article titled "Constitutional Government After Chevron?" which examines how the cessation of Chevron deference might impact our constitutional institutions holistically.
