Pelosi herself correctly pointed out that Biden didn't have the authority. The legislative branch has ceded a lot more power to the executive than the Frames ever intended, they certainly don't need to continue to do so.
You say that, but this vote was along party lines, so if Hillary had been elected and those 3 R judges were instead D judges, chances are Biden's forgiveness plan would have been approved.
Government is what we make it. Precedents only go so far, as we have seen in recent years. Law is not a science, it's an art and judges can interpret historical documents or intentions to do whatever they want to do in the present.
