Sorry but this is just plain wrong. Congress authorized the secretary of education to waive or modify any loan provision.
If you are concerned about the rule of law you should be upset that the Supreme Court even heard a case so obviously lacking standing. Nobody was harmed by this policy so conservative groups had to invent a fictional harm just to get the case heard.
- baggy_trough 3y agoThe entire “standing” doctrine is a farce. It’s not in a law. It’s not in the Constitution. It’s an invention of the court.
- eli 3y agoIt’s in Article III. There’s debate as to where the line is for something to be a “controversy” but there’s no debate that there is a line.
- AnthonyMouse 3y ago> Nobody was harmed by this policy If nobody is harmed then why do you suppose anyone wanted to prevent it? Why don't we just continuously forgive all debts of any kind?

The court let the state of Missouri stand in for them even though it’s even harder to see how they have standing. You tell me: who is harmed by students owing less is student loans?
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoWhoever didn't get the money they were lent and never repaid (presumably taxpayers), and anyone holding or contracting in US dollars since forgiving the loans is equivalent to printing the money and causes inflation.
