Justice Roberts skillfully quotes Pelosi over court's Student Loan decision

[BLAZE] The Supreme Court struck down President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness on Friday — and used Rep. Nancy Pelosi's own words to bolster the ruling.

In a 6—3 ruling, the court said the petitioner in Biden v. Nebraska had standing under Article III to bring the lawsuit and then applied the so-called "major questions doctrine" to determine that student loans cannot be canceled under the the 2003 HEROES Act, the law Biden claimed gave the Education secretary statutory authority to wipe away $430 billion in student loans.

In short, the court ruled that Biden cannot cancel $430 billion in student loans using the HEROES Act because Congress never intended the law to be used that way.

"Congress did not unanimously pass the HEROES Act with such power in mind," Chief Justice John Roberts explained.

Roberts then quoted Pelosi when she declared in 2021 that Biden cannot unilaterally cancel student loans:

#1 What is clear, is we have 3 +/- members of SCOTUS that are casting votes based solely on a "Progressive" Political agenda, and not the US Constitution.

#2 /\ My take as well. I'm just thanking the Intelligent Designer that our POS Attorney General Merrick B. Garland didn't make the Supreme Court cut.

#4 #1, I'm actually happy it's only 3. They are now a minority and can't impose their personal preferences on the rest of us. Not too long ago, it was 5 or 6.

#5 It's a shame (for what it's worth with the likes of Mittens and Graham and McConnell) that the GOP didn't take the Senate. I would have loved to then hear the GOP talk about expanding the US Supreme Court, basically throwing it right back at the Dems. Would have been nice to see the Dems squirm.

Reminds a bit of Chuckie Schumer defending the filibuster many years ago only to recently denounce it. I think it was Tom Cotton who read Schumer's speech from the Congressional Record word for word.

#6 The only thing consistent about Chuckie Schumer is his self-serving hypocrisy and the dangers of standing between him and a television camera.

#7 And, by the way, you will note how 6-to-3 Supreme Court votes show a 'divided Court' whenever a Leftist commentator speaks.

#8 Roberts is a divided court even by himself. His judicial philosophy is the equivalent of a whirligig.
