**Illegal Tactics: Biden Administration Flouts the Law in Desperate Bid to Buy Votes**
In a bold and controversial move, the Biden-Harris administration continues to disregard the law to gain favor with college graduates ahead of the upcoming election.
A recent ruling from a federal appeals court has blocked President Biden’s latest scheme to shift the burden of student-loan debt onto American taxpayers.
This comes just a year after the Supreme Court struck down a similar plan in the case of Biden v. Nebraska.
Despite these clear legal setbacks, the Biden administration seems undeterred.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona recently sent out an email to student-loan borrowers that reads more like a campaign slogan than a government communication.
In it, Cardona boasted about the administration's intentions to implement the new Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan, despite its evident lack of legal grounding.
This brazen communication violates the 1939 Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan activities while on duty.
The email suggests that the administration plans to flout the law, asserting that "no matter how many times Republican elected officials try to stop us," they will continue with their agenda.
The Biden administration appears to be leveraging the Higher Education Act to circumvent earlier court losses, attempting to redefine the limited authority granted to the Department of Education.
District judges have been quick to push back against these overreaches.
In Kansas, U.S. District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree highlighted the administration's attempt to expand its authority as a serious transformation beyond what Congress authorized.
Similarly, Judge John A. Ross in Missouri referenced the Supreme Court's decision, reaffirming that the administration lacks clear congressional authorization for such sweeping debt cancellations.
Biden's SAVE Plan is illegal and an affront to the rule of law.
The Office of Special Counsel, responsible for enforcing the Hatch Act, must act promptly to remind Cardona and his department about the importance of using public resources for the public good, rather than as a tool for political gain.
Furthermore, there should be a thorough investigation into whether Secretary Cardona has indeed violated the Hatch Act.
If the Biden administration seeks to reduce political tensions, it could start by eliminating the use of federal resources for what amounts to partisan campaigning.
As the 2024 election approaches, Americans deserve accountability and transparency from their leaders, especially when it comes to the use of taxpayer dollars and federal authority.
