Tell your friends: The Supreme Court might reject Biden's student loan forgiveness

[chuluma]

It is extremely important to vote. If one of these conservatives judges retires or dies in The future, a majority Democratic Senate would confirm a democratic appointed Justice.
Read this, about decisions the supreme Court has made recently that hint at a real possibility of them limiting the executive authority once again.

t-Kept the CDC from enforcing an eviction moratorium due to the Covid-19 pandemic;

-OSHA from enforcing a vaccine mandate in workplaces; and
-The EPA from implementing proposed limits on greenhouse gasses.

1. Son of a bitch. We should use the term Republican. They are not conservative in any way.

2. So true.

When my son-in-law informed me, out of the blue, "you know, I'm a conservative, right?" I responded by asking, "what have you conserved this week?" I then went on to explain how I figured I was the most conservative person I know. I had to be as I'm retired, and the inevitability of inflation will erode my savings to a fraction of their one-time value. His response was, "yeah, we need federal legislation to control that". As I looked him in the eye, expecting to see a light of sarcasm, it hit me how he was totally serious. Long sigh....
Of course, there's a stepson who still can't understand how the "fair tax" initiative is patently and obviously a fraud catering to the wealthy. Another longer sigh....

Mostly, I just want these geniuses to keep off my lawn. Yes, I sigh a lot at Thanksgiving.

9. They aren't traditional R's - they are Christofascists.

Call them what they are.

3. Standing is going to be hard to establish on this one, even for this SCOTUS (nt)

[Frasier Balzov]

4. Who has suffered a judicially cognizable injury?

I've been trying to imagine such a party.

7. Agree

This is well established that the DoE has the ability to deal with student loans as they see fit.

[intheflow]

11. Though we're talking about a SCOTUS that doesn't believe the DoE is valid.

They're on board with Betsy DeVos in wanting to do way with it. So it's unlikely they will admit to recognizing DoE legitimacy in this or any other national education standard.

5. If there is

A lawsuit filed by any Republican lawmaker it would probably be filed in a court with a Trump appointee. When that happens it needs to be SHOUTED that the pukes and their stacking of the courts did that.
Pres. Biden laid out the argument very succinctly when he mentioned the unequal tax cuts.

[FBaggins]

6. They almost certainly will

Indeed... there's a good chance that a left-leaning court would as well.

The question is whether opponents can find someone with standing to bring the case and whether it will make a difference at that point (assuming the debts are already gone).

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. The question is: who would have standing to sue?

You can’t just sue because you don’t like a policy.

I don’t think Someone who paid their loans already would have standing, as they aren’t affected by the policy, except perhaps emotionally.

So who would?

[Mr. Ected]

10. Republicans need to spearhead the "Pay it Back to IRS if you conscientiously object" legislation

I bet they wouldn't collect a penny.

What a joke.
