I'm so pissed that it seems like Congress doesn't do jack shit and when the president wants to do anything good for people the supreme court can just shut it down.
The supreme court is legislating from the bench and it just shows how broken our system is.
They'll give unlimited tax breaks to the rich but deny any sort of help to people struggling to pay bills.
Jfc we can't have anything can we?
Biden suspected this would happen, hence why he was previously doing student loan forgiveness in smaller increments. But people kept pushing him to do the entire thing and claiming that he was actively against students because he wasn't. No, he knew this happening was a high possibility.
And this case sets much bigger precedents than the specific subject, precedents in two areas.
The specific claim that the Secretary was "transforming" the law rather than tweaking things is asinine, especially since the HEROES Act was incredibly vague in the first place. So this sets precedent that any usage of a law outside of explicitly what it says (difficult to even determine when a bill is so vague) gives leverage to reverse any executive action in enacting the law. Which will just allow massive conservative obstructionism even more on everything.
The entire case having standing as it is. Why do 6 states have standing to sue on something done in regards to federal loans? The idea that states can sue on any federal issue now is concerning to the extreme.
My biggest complaint in this (as a student loan borrower) is that they postponed this shit for years, and I didn't make any payments during that time so I wouldn't have to jump through hoops to get reimbursement if this forgiveness plan was actually implemented, so now instead of having interest-free payments going during this time, I'm going to have to start where I was in the beginning.
This could just be my own stupidity, but making a promise that would completely negate the need to make payments made me hold off on making payments.
It's like a microcosm of the forgiveness there. Other people still paying their loans would've had resentment towards people who stopped paying their loans and got bailed out.
bruh
well fuck them
