Justice Amy Coney Barrett has turned down, without explanation or referral to full #SCOTUS, request from Wisconsin taxpayers group to block Biden administration's student loan relief plan.

Up next, they'll file in TX and get those fascists on the 5th Circuit to block it.

1. Well, even if the 5th Circuit blocks it...

... it's already a proven loser. If ACB doesn't like it, who will? (On the SC.)

6. Sam Alito, who receives all the emergency applications from the 5th circuit

9. You're saying he'll be willing to abort THAT?

2. Be tough for Wisconsinites to be heard by the 5th.

They were shot down by the 7th, though.

4. These extremists are everywhere. They'll just pick another group.

7. True enough. nt

3. Interesting.

I wonder if court-watchers are surprised by this or not.

8. I'm guessing no, as it was also rejected by the district and circuit courts. nt

5. I need her to start writing things

10. I'm not surprised at this - she's an academic after all

She is - or was - a law professor at University of Notre Dame. That's a highly regarded and high-priced school, probably on a par with Ivy League tuitions.

12. She's also young enough that she probably has a ton of student loan debt of her own.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ketanji Brown Jackson is still paying on hers, as well. I doubt she has mysterious benefactors to pay off her debts as Boof Douche has.

11. The SCOTUS Taliban are feeling plenty of heat from the Dobbs...

decision and do want to keep generating negative public push back against unpopular rulings.
