The U.S. Supreme Court won't have far to look if it wants a personal take on the “crushing weight” of student debt that underlies the Biden administration’s college loan forgiveness plan.

Justice Clarence Thomas was in his mid-40s and in his third year on the nation's highest court when he paid off the last of his debt from his time at Yale Law School.

It’s not clear that any of the other justices borrowed money to attend college or law school or have done so for their children’s educations. Some justices grew up in relative wealth. Others reported they had scholarships to pay their way to some of the country's most expensive private institutions. Thomas was able to take out another loan to repay the bank only because his mentor, John Danforth, then-Missouri attorney general and later a U.S. senator, vouched for him.

Personal experience can shape the justices' questions in the courtroom and affect their private conversations about a case, even if it doesn't figure in the outcome.

Self imposed hardship

When was he released from prison for exposing his banana to a woman associate ?

You reap what you sow. If you don’t get a scholarship, and don’t have rich parents, stay in State. Not that hard of a concept to conceive.

I thought you were going to say 'of his conscience.'

Universities need to stop expanding the curriculum and related labour costs that encompass and encourage woke bs classes that serve only to indoctrinate vs educate.
