OPINION | The Supreme Court’s conservatives are ignoring a law that gives Biden the authority to take “controversial” actions during a national emergency.

If you don’t believe Justice Kagan, just ask the Trump administration—which relied upon that exact statute to pause student loan repayments and suspend interest accrual because of the national emergency caused by COVID-19.

As Justice Kagan pointed out, the actual non-profit state agency in Missouri tasked with administering student loans did not even join the suit. The two individuals suing at least actually had student loans—although one student only had loans from commercial entities, not loans held by the government. But Justice Neil Gorsuch, part of the conservative majority, was dismissive of their standing.

Partisan drivel masquerading as journalism.

This is the most CorruptSCOTUSMajority in American history.

And this national emergency will just conveniently last right up till the 2024 election, right? Blatant power grab to pacify the left base and buy votes.

Quite a few of these SC Justices are quite happy to line their pockets while sitting on the SC. Unsurprisingly enough they are the most vocal opponents of student debt forgiveness.

Would be nice to cancel the debt of workers who didn't attend college as well.

Biden's student loan forgiveness plan to face crucial test at Supreme CourtThe program would cancel up to $10,000 in federal student debt for Americans earning less than $125,000 annually, and an additional $10,000 for recipients of Pell Grants. Giving trillions in tax breaks to the very wealthy & large profitable corporations who don’t need it & being against student debt relief hurts our economy! NOTHING IS FREE! Why relief? If they got a loan, pay it back.

What to know about Tuesday’s student loan showdown ⬇️ More free stuff should insure obedience for 2024. “Hmmm…if I let everyone in who wants to come in and give them lots of ‘free’ suff, they’ll likely vote for me! And if I give $20,000.00 + ‘gifts’ to recent college grads, they’ll likely vote for me, too! (I think I’m a genius.) Sure am glad none of this comes out of MY pocket.”
