The lawsuit, Mackinac Center for Public Policy v. U.S. Department of Education, Miguel Cardona, and Richard Cordray, was filed on behalf of the Center in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Key Points: 
  • The lawsuit, Mackinac Center for Public Policy v. U.S. Department of Education, Miguel Cardona, and Richard Cordray, was filed on behalf of the Center in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
  • When that statutory deferment period expired in September 2020, however, the department unilaterally extended it without congressional appropriation.
  • Congress enacted the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) in 2007 to help 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations like the Mackinac Center attract employees with a debt-relief incentive keyed to working ten years for nonprofits.
  • Just as the PSLF program benefits the states suing over the unlawful half-trillion in student loan debt cancellation, so too the Mackinac Center benefits as an employer from PSLF.

NAPLES, Fla., Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) released a new research paper quantifying the estimated total cost of the Biden administration's student loan bailout and providing solutions for Congress to prevent this type of expensive executive overreach in the future. This new research is released as the Supreme Court of the United States hears oral arguments in the Biden v. Nebraska case challenging the statutory and constitutional authority of the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan.

Key Points: 
  • This new research is released as the Supreme Court of the United States hears oral arguments in the Biden v. Nebraska case challenging the statutory and constitutional authority of the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan.
  • "The Biden administration is attempting to use a press release to push a $1 trillion dollar bailout onto American taxpayers," said Haley Holik , FGA senior fellow.
  • "The Supreme Court should shut down this student loan bailout scheme, and Congress should pass the REINS Act to ensure this never happens again," add Holik.
  • The Supreme Court will surely check this abuse of executive power and stop this unprecedented effort."

NCLA’s brief offers the Court an alternative basis to find standing for the states, which has been a sticking point thus far in lawsuits against the Loan Cancellation Plan.

Key Points: 
  • NCLA’s brief offers the Court an alternative basis to find standing for the states, which has been a sticking point thus far in lawsuits against the Loan Cancellation Plan.
  • Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Carolina would suffer concrete injuries from the government’s unlawful debt cancellation plan because it undermines the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program.
  • By cancelling their debt now, the Loan Cancellation Program reduces or removes the PSLF deferred-compensation incentive, thereby directly harming states’ ability to recruit and retain college-educated employees.
  • NCLA released the following statements:
    “As NCLA’s amicus brief shows, the states have standing to oppose this extravagant abuse of administrative power because the Loan Cancellation Program interferes with them as employers who hire employees eligible for the Congressionally created Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICPT), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat progressive non-viral liver diseases, today announced multiple abstracts on obeticholic acid (OCA) and INT-787, a next-generation FXR agonist, will be presented at The Liver Meeting® 2022, the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). The Liver Meeting® will be held from November 4 – 8, 2022, in Washington, D.C.

Key Points: 
  • We are especially excited to share additional analyses of our pivotal REGENERATE study, which we believe further support the positive benefit:risk profile of OCA in liver fibrosis due to NASH.
  • The use of OCA for fibrosis due to NASH is investigational and has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other health authority.
  • Advanced fibrosis is associated with a substantially higher risk of liver-related morbidity and mortality in patients with NASH.
  • This press release contains forward-looking statements (FLS), including regarding resubmission and timing of Intercepts new drug application for OCA for treatment of liver fibrosis due to NASH.

NCLA urges the Eighth Circuit to halt the debt cancellation plan while it considers the States arguments on appeal because the plan is so obviously unconstitutional.

Key Points: 
  • NCLA urges the Eighth Circuit to halt the debt cancellation plan while it considers the States arguments on appeal because the plan is so obviously unconstitutional.
  • It is also an appropriation because any amount of canceled debt directly reduces funds that would otherwise flow into the Treasury.
  • In short, the Department of Education relies on an unconstitutional interpretation of the HEROES Act to justify its unlawful mass debt cancellation.
  • And, like nonprofit employers, States as employers will be irreparably harmed by the Biden Administrations unlawful infringement of the PSLFs incentive structure.

The Cato Institute is a nonprofit organization that promotes individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peaceful international relations.

Key Points: 
  • The Cato Institute is a nonprofit organization that promotes individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peaceful international relations.
  • Like other nonprofits, including the ACLU and NCLA, it attracts and retains talented employees who have student loans with incentives enacted by Congress through the PSLF program.
  • The Biden administrations effort to cancel massive amounts of student loan debt, an exercise of legislative power, is as illegal as it is irresponsible.
  • NCLA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group founded by prominent legal scholar Philip Hamburger to protect constitutional freedoms from violations by the Administrative State.
