Texas Wants To Sue Biden Over Student Loan Forgiveness

Ken Paxton should be facing a jury. Instead, he's trying to screw over college students.

By John Amato — August 26, 2022
Texas Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton told Newsmax that the state of Texas is hoping to bring a class-action lawsuit against the Biden administration for helping college kids from all families to help pay down their student loans.

Paxton was indicted seven years ago for securities fraud but so far has evaded any form of a trial.

The Newsmax host claims "parents" are outraged over this deal. Would most of those parents work for Newsmax and Fox News?

rule of law, and hasn't been thrown in jail yet somehow. How does he get away with it, and somehow be above the law? I never could understand how justice on one hand for some people seem to be a cruel taskmaster, and yet for others, who seem to sneer at the rule of law, and continue to break the law. How is this fair?

I wish that they would nail this creep. He really is a creep.
