Supreme Court rejects request to block Biden student loan debt forgiveness program
2022-10-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Supreme Court rejected a request to block the Biden administration’s student loan debt relief program.

  • Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied the emergency application to block the program, which had been filed by a Wisconsin taxpayers group Wednesday.

  • Barrett is responsible for such applications issued from cases in the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which includes Wisconsin.

  • The loan relief plan, which is set to begin taking effect this weekend, will cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for millions of borrowers.

#12  Just curious. Why was my comment dismissed? Is it something I said, or does the moderator have a "hard-on" for my comments. Just wondering if I should Wast time following this blog as I have since it's beginning?

#11  Trailing wife is on track. I am retired, but still member in good standing with the BAR. Justice Amy is not saying it is "lawful or constitutional". She is simply denying the emergency motion. This issue will have a full hearing by the Court. No doubt.

#10  Does Amy have outstanding student loans? If a person took on the obligation, they should pay their debts. This forgiveness of student debt is a naked trolling for votes.

#9  The issue of 'standing to sue' is complicated.

Also unfair.

The full SCOTUS should take this case and revisit the entire 'standing to sue' doctrine as it is now and change it.

Maybe they'll get to that but not before a lot of $$ are out the door.

#8   Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied the emergency application to block the program

That sounds like she is letting the normal judicial process continue instead of short-circuiting it. This takes it off the table as get-out-the-vote issue just before the election.

How long will it take the system to process millions of applications and issue checks once it starts? Taking ObamaCare as an example...

#3  Amy’s officially part of The Swamp now.

Good little girl. We won’t target your children anymore.

#2  'Blocking' it even though POTUS has no legal or constitutional authority to forgive borrowers debt.

Interesting.
