Says, ‘Biden’s unlawful political play puts the self-wrought college-loan debt on the backs of millions of hardworking Americans’

LITTLE ROCK— Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge today announced a lawsuit against President Joe Biden, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona and the U.S. Department of Education forviolating federal law when the Biden Administration attempted to categorically cancel student loan debt in August. The suit alleges that Biden violated federal law, the constitutional principle of separation of powers and the Administrative Procedure Actwhen he skirted congressional authority to implement this policy.

“President Biden’s unlawful political play puts the self-wrought college-loan debt on the backs of millions of hardworking Americans who are struggling to pay their utility bills and home loans in the midst of Biden’s inflation,” said Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. “President Biden does not have the power to arbitrarily erase the college debt of adults who chose to take out those loans.”

The lawsuit highlights that President Biden knew he did not have the proper authority to authorize this type of executive action, which is why he attempted to work with Congress to find a legitimate and legal solution to the student loan crisis. After Congress routinely failed to pass legislation addressing the issue, Biden attempted to unilaterally act far beyond the authority granted to him by the Constitution. This action will result in approximately half a trillion dollars in losses to the federal treasury and contribute to the already rampant inflation the nation is experiencing.  

The Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, summarized it best when she said, “people think the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not.”

Joining Arkansas in the suit are the states of: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Carolina.

Elected as Nebraska’s 32^nd Attorney General in 2014, Doug Peterson has dedicated his career to being an advocate for Nebraskans both in state and federal court.  From 1988 to 1990 he served as an Assistant Attorney General in the civil litigation department.  That experience gave him key insight to the important role the office of Attorney General serves in protecting all Nebraskans.

Doug Peterson was born in Columbus, Nebraska and grew up primarily in Lincoln. He graduated from the University of Nebraska with a business degree in 1981, and from Pepperdine University School of Law in 1985. Following law school, Mr. Peterson spent two years in North Platte, Nebraska, prosecuting both criminal and civil cases for the Lincoln County Attorney. From 1988 to 1990, he served as Assistant Attorney General to the Nebraska Attorney General’s office, representing the State in employment law matters and tort litigation. Since 1990, Mr. Peterson has been in private practice.

Prior to being elected Nebraska’s Attorney General, Peterson’s private practice centered mainly upon employment, commercial and personal injury litigation. He is admitted to practice before both the Nebraska and Federal District Courts, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court. He successfully represented the employer in the case of Adkins v. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Comp., 260 Neb. 156 (2000) and has tried interstate commerce clause cases in the U.S. District Court on behalf of small businesses, including the reported decision of U & I Sanitation v. City of Columbus, 205 F. 3d 1063 (2000). In 2008 he represented a 16 year old head-injured plaintiff, a case which the plaintiff was awarded one of the largest damage awards ever awarded in Nebraska.

Peterson is committed to defending Nebraska’s agriculture interests and Nebraska’s energy sources against federal overreach imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency. He strongly believes in State rights and the Constitutional limitations of the 10^th Amendment.  He is committed to working closely with law enforcement agencies across the State to ensure that Nebraska streets are safe.  He specifically committed to advancing stronger legislation and enforcement in the area of human trafficking.  Peterson is also an advocate for strong consumer protection laws to protect all Nebraskans.

Doug and Sandi have three adult children, Clay and his wife Shanna, daughter Kylie and her husband Noah Heflin and grandchild Avri, and youngest son Grant.

Peterson was elected Nebraska Attorney General on November 4, 2014, defeating his Democrat opponent 67%-33%.
