Student Loans Decision Unravels One of Biden’s Signature Efforts

NiftyNiblick said:
The pachy-heavy SCOTUS will make Biden's life as miserable as possible.
He should unilaterally send them packing and install his own Supreme Court.

With the fucktards Manchin and Sinema, he can't do it by the book,
so he has to do it the forceful way.

We have to stop treating this republic as if it were still functioning.
It's toast.

Statement from President Joe Biden on Supreme Court Decision on Student Loan Debt Rel

The hypocrisy of Republican elected officials is stunning. They had no problem with billions in pandemic-related loans to businesses – including hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of dollars for their own businesses. And those loans were forgiven. But when it came to providing relief to millions of hard-working Americans, they did everything in their power to stop it.

The court may have been correct on constitutional grounds, but Biden is correct on policy.

The Supreme Court’s rejection on Friday of President Biden’s student debt relief plan instantly unravels one of the president’s signature efforts and ratchets up the pressure on him to find a new way to make good on a promise to a key constituency as the 2024 presidential campaign gets underway.

Maybe Biden should try doing something legal next time instead of trying to rule by authoritarian fiat...
 
BidenPresident said:
In a dissent from the majority opinion, Justice Elena Kagan said the court was making national policy in place of Congress and the executive branch.

“Congress authorized the forgiveness plan (among many other actions); the Secretary put it in place; and the President would have been accountable for its success or failure,” Kagan wrote, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. "But this Court today decides that some 40 million Americans will not receive the benefits the plan provides, because (so says the Court) that assistance is too ‘significant.’ ”

Okay, and Biden was making national policy instead of Congress, what's you point?

Biden contended his administration had the authority to forgive student loan debt under the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003. The law allows the education secretary to waive or modify loan provisions in response to a national emergency, such as the coronavirus pandemic.

The conservative majority disagreed. “The Secretary asserts that the HEROES Act grants him the authority to cancel $430 billion of student loan principal. It does not,” Roberts wrote. “We hold today that the Act allows the Secretary to ‘waive or modify’ existing statutory or regulatory provisions applicable to financial assistance programs under the Education Act, not to rewrite that statute from the ground up.”

No, he didn't. Congress didn't pass legislation waving payment of student loans. Biden simply took a temporary halt to payments and tried to make it permanent. He can't do that. Congress, and the House specifically, have to pass legislation that forgives student loans and they didn't do that.
