    You mean exactly what they’re doing? It’s mostly a job for Whitehouse lawyers now, deciding just how much they can get through (each time they chip away) without ending up in from of judges again. That’s why every few weeks there another segment of cancellations happening.

      No, nothing at all like what they’re doing here, what I’m talking about is completely separate from these individualized cases. We need universal student debt relief that addresses everyone who was victimized by this predatory system. The vast majority are not getting any help and there’s no indication the Biden administration is doing anything about that problem.

          Issuing an executive order isn’t a law + the court hasn’t considered other arguments the administration could and should make = Biden isn’t even trying

          Guess that’s day two civics class stuff

          e; better phrasing

              Wow, I missed the supreme Court case or legislation that stripped the president of the power to issue executive orders, surely you’ve got a link to that momentous development?

              e; actually, I think that would take a constitutional amendment
