The hallmark of “progressives” going back to Woodrow Wilson is an utter disdain for the Constitution’s limits on federal authority. They think that if they can do good by using the coercive power of government, no antiquated document should get in the way. Joe Biden’s administration exhibits a complete disregard for the Constitution almost daily, and his latest initiative on student-loan “forgiveness” is a case in point.

No sooner had the Supreme Court ruled that his previous effort was ultra vires last June than the administration announced new loan cancellations through the Department of Education.

As Michael Brickman of American Enterprise Institute writes here, at least one state — Kansas — has stepped into the fray to try to use what’s left of the rule of law to prevent this from happening. Three cheers for its attorney general, Kris Kobach.

Brickman gives an excellent explanation as to why this Biden move must be prevented. I’ll just give his last one:

Student-loan forgiveness is terrible policy, and to go about it the way the Bidenistas are doing is doubly bad as it also erodes the Constitution’s separation of powers.
