There have been several accusations of Democrats breaking laws in recent years. For example, in 2024, Minnesota Democrats were accused of cheating in the House District 40B election by allowing Curtis Johnson, who did not live in the district, to run as their candidate. In 2025, 48 House Democrats voted to advance the Laken Riley Act, an illegal immigration crackdown bill, marking a shift from the party's previous stance on the issue.
On Feb. 18, the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Biden’s Education Department had exceeded its authority in attempting to shift college debt on a scale similar to that provided by Biden’s initial 2022 massive college debt shift. In 2023, the Supreme Court had ruled against Biden’s effort to permanently cancel up to $430 billion in loan debt for as many as 43 million borrowers under the HEROES Act.
Undeterred, Biden sought multiple times to stretch other laws to shift college debt. By the time he left the White House, he was trying to cancel $184 billion in debt owed to taxpayers by approximately 5 million borrowers.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called it “one of the biggest acts of consumer debt relief in American history.” In April 2024, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) applauded Biden’s attempts to circumvent the judicial decision through executive action, saying “the president is heeding Congress’s call and Democrats will continue to be relentless in doing everything we can to lower costs and make college more affordable.”
That the president was using executive action — not seeking legislation from Congress — then, despite the nation’s highest court having blocked the executive branch’s earlier attempt did not bother Democrats.
This at a time when the Biden administration was running up $7.5 trillion in deficits over fiscal 2021 through 2024. Yet they decry as fiscal calamity the extension of Republicans’ 2017 tax cuts that are simply an extension of current policy.
Democrats were unbothered by the president’s unilateral executive action to provide a financial windfall to borrowers, even as the withering inflation of the Biden-Harris era was savaging taxpayers.
The truth is that Democrats can see no crisis unless they can attribute it to Trump. They see no crisis in trying to increase government, federal spending, federal deficits, and federal debt — only in Trump’s attempts to decrease them.
Democrats’ copious tears over the Constitution are strictly crocodilian. They are blatantly partisan, utterly hypocritical and thoroughly exhausted of efficacy from years of overuse.
