It's unconstitutional, everyone knows it's unconstitutional, but this way in 2024 they can blame the Supreme Court for striking it down. The executive branch can't spend money without the approval of Congress, and HEROES Act does not apply.
- klyrs 4y agoGiven what I've read of the proceedings, the states are claiming injury on behalf of loan servicers. The supreme court doesn't play that way. Injured parties must claim injury on their own behalf. Justice demands its pound of flesh. That the states went to the supreme court without standing may in fact doom their case. But if that does happen, it's purely procedural and will not establish a precedent. The conservative justices are vocally against the idea of eroding the separation of powers, so they'll be especially motivated to keep the ruling narrow.
