Here's an Amicus Brief filed by the ACLJ, and it shows how the MQD applies in the student loan forgiveness case set for arguments next Tuesday at the SCOTUS and answers WHY the lower court ruling on applying the MQD was correct:

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT ............................ 2
ARGUMENT ............................................................... 4
I. The Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona’s
Twisting of the HEROES Act Violates Separation
of Powers, Which Prevents the Executive Branch

Fiat. ........................................................................ 5
II. The Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona’s
Distorted Reading of the HEROES Act Also
Violates the Major Questions Doctrine. ................ 7
A. The HEROES Act Has a Noble But Limited
Purpose that Does Not Clearly Authorize the
Secretary’s Program. ........................................ 8
B. Democrat Leaders in Congress and Then-
Candidate Biden Conceded that Loan
Forgiveness Is an Issue of Immense Economic
and Political Significance that Congress Alone
May Regulate. ................................................. 15
CONCLUSION .......................................................... 21

"The Framers would be “rubbing their eyes” in
disbelief at these brazen trespasses against Article I
limits. City of Arlington v. FCC, 569 U.S. 290, 313
(2013) (Roberts, C.J., dissenting). The laws
governing Americans are increasingly “nothing more
than the will of the current President.” Stephen
Breyer, Making Our Democracy Work: A Judge’s View 110 (2010); see also The Federalist No. 47, at
303 (James Madison) (Clinton Rossiter ed., 1961)
(“When the legislative and executive powers are
united in the same person or body, there can be no
liberty
. . . .”).
The Secretary’s discovery in the HEROES Act of
Executive authority to forgive hundreds of billions of
dollars in federal student loans is another such
encroachment on Congress’s legislative powers."
