- The ruling is extremely specific, it doesn’t ban all forgiveness
- Biden is doing forgiveness right now and no one says that’s illegal
- He can do more forgiveness, I don’t get what your hangup is. SCOTUS is not his master.
What are you saying? Biden himself says the ruling is wrong and will do any means possible to forgive student debt. He’s doing that on a minor scale, he can by his own account, do it at a larger scale.
If you believe forgiving the debt 100k students here and there is reform, then we are in disagreement.
I think over 100 million student debt holders will need some type of debt forgiveness to actually reform things. That why I push for broad forgiveness.
And yes Biden can! It’s his administration and admins forgive debt all the time. We are so many liberals in this thread defending SCOTUS?
Do you want debt reform or not?
Congress empowered the president to forgive debt. The courts ignored standing rules to even take that case and SCOTUS has no power to overrule both congress and the president.
President’s have ignored SCOTUS before but Biden doesn’t even have to do that. He can forgive debt like he’s doing now but do it broadly and instantaneously.
If SCOTUS later rules against that broad forgiveness, there’s nothing administratively they can do. No politician D or R would reinstate $.5 trillion in voter debt just to appease the unelected SCOTUS. You can’t put that genie back in the bottle.
The problem with this debt forgiveness by a thousand cuts is spending hours researching it then finding out you arbitrarily don’t qualify because some highly technical reason.
This technocrated BS isn’t helping any but the lucky few that end up qualifying.
You make it sound like if people told Latinos they can’t vote for Democrats then they wouldn’t want to vote Republican anymore. But we all know that ain’t true. Grievances only go direction way in the USA, from the right.
The GOP is the party for people in a bubble that want to feign victimhood while oppressing working people who are actually the oppressed.
There’s a conservative Latino in my family who married a white karen, he’s always bashing other Latinos. It doesn’t matter what color their skin is, rightwing Republicans act the same in my experience.
These “why I left the left” grifters, if their prominences don’t lead reasonable people to believe how society engineered to stear us conservative. Then recall James Comey a couple weeks before the 2016 election. Which candidate’s investigation did he tell the world about, which did he stay mum on? Which investigation was BS, which one showed strong links to foreign agents?
Are you a Biden supporter who is also defending the legal opinions of the conservative supreme court? You might need to step away from politics.
