âThe Supreme Court has lost its honor, prestige, and standing, & has become nothing more than a political body, with our Country paying the price,â -D. J.Trump 11.23.22
Out of context, I actually agree with him.
But Iâm sure heâs just whining about the decision to release his tax returns.
Howâs that knife feel, SCOTUS?
Like itâs made of paper, perhaps.
Given that his installees with lifelong jobs owe him no allegiance whatsoever.
Whatâs bribery among friends right?
Oh myâŚ
Assholes. Who has standing to object to debt relief? It doesnât cause harm to anyone directly; and they really donât want to open the can of worms of ruling that taxes represent harm and thus establish standing.
Morans.
ETA: maybe, just like 45 ignored the Congress and court-issued blocks to building the wall, Biden can use military spending to fund college loan debt relief. Make anyone who qualifies a member of the military for one second then pay off their debt under the GI Bill?
But - I thought they were Christians?
Deuteronomy 15
1 At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
It helps people right wing assholes donât like, so we canât have it⌠God wants us to pull us up by our bootstraps, after all, so sayeth supply-side Jesus⌠After all, if one isnât born into wealth, thatâs just evidence that god hates that person⌠/s
Not that passage! /s
It was swept under the robes.
The coalition of states challenging the program â Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Carolina â argue primarily that the Department of Education does not have the right to cancel loans in these circumstances. The pandemic, the states say, is just being used as âpretextâ for fulfilling the Biden administrationâs campaign promise to cancel debt, and they contend that in addition to being fiscally irresponsible, the program will specifically harm the statesâ loan authorities â state or nonprofit organizations that service federal loans â by reducing their revenue.
None of this argues that it is outside the authority of the DoE, just that they donât like itâŚ
⌠says right there, âequal protection of the lawsâ
and here i thought they liked cutting taxes
They donât have standing, since they arenât harmed. This makes no sense.
Boo fucking hoo. Thatâs not even relevant. By that logic, I have standing to sue each of those states that refused the free federal money to expand Medicaid under the ACA. Hell, I have more standing and a better case because I work for a medical device company that does business in those states. I actually can establish (tenuous) harm by their failure to expand Medicaid.
Those are nonprofits. They arenât supposed to run a profit, they are supposed to benefit people - like the ones whose loans would be forgiven!
