Amy Coney Barrett has swiftly denied a Wisconsin group's bid to block Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan. Barrett (who handles emergency requests from Wisconsin) acted on her own, without referring the case to the full court or seeking a response from the government.

It’s Federal loans, and while Stupid IMO and purely political, elections have serious consequences, even stolen ones….

Robert Barnes was correct again. He said she was going to be a disappointing jurist based on her prior decisions, and here we are.

Explain why this is a disappointing legal decision, assuming of course you aren’t just politically disappointed in the outcome.

Since it simply isn’t possible that she applied the correct legal principles to the procedural motion before her?

It has to be that she is terrible because you don’t like the ultimate outcome? I bet there isn’t a judge in existence that you would support.

I don't like the student debt relief thing at all but what grounds did they have to ask SCOTUS to step in with that?

Some on this board are just as dumb as the left. On what grounds is the student loan forgiveness stuff unconstitutional? Sure, we hate it but is it unconstitutional? That's way more than a stretch in my opinion.

Good. The group doesn’t need emergency relief.

The case can proceed at the district court level.

The relief doesn't dole out any money at all. It wipes the figure off the books. Sure, it's a grey area but in my opinion, the president can do that. I don't have to like it.

Its a congressional function (federal debt relief) that should originate in the House as legislation. It's unconstitutional on its face for a President to usurp that power via executive fiat. The two relevant questions asked are on the first couple of pages of the decision.

That was the basis of the Wisconsin petition, claiming that the president unilaterally forgiving federal debts is unconstitutional.

From their filing:

The administration cites a law enacted post-9/11 that allows the Dept of Education to modify the rules for student loans during a declared emergency. The administration argues that Congress gave POTUS that authority.

No one is saying POTUS could do it without Congress.

Your response?
