Guess those student loan forgiveness programs are back on the menu
"By official decree, all education shall now be free, and all debts accrued for the purposes of education are forgiven. If this should result in the dissolution of predatory lenders and universities whose business existence depends on this type of debt, then so be it. It's time to adapt or go extinct, Jack."
If only he had the balls to do that.
maybe he does, let me check...
... ah, sorry, the test results came back democrat.
The problem is the courts would just knock it down right away. Biden could try to ignore the courts, using their own definition of immunity, but it would absolutely precipitate a Constitutional Crisis.
But what if he officially ignores the courts?
Well then it's a Crisis of The Constitution. Completely Different. :)
No it wouldn't. That's what the surpreme courts ruling was all about.
You mistake this supreme court for one with ethics and consistency.
They declared the president is king. Somehow everyone loses their mind saying Trump can do anything now.
But Biden is the current king so either the ruling means nothing or Biden can do anything now.
Nuance.
They didn't declare the President king. They stated official acts are effectively immune and left a gaping hole in the definition of what constitutes "official", likely leaving individual assessment to the courts which can be appealed right up to SCOTUS.
I don't know what else to tell you. The court won't support Biden using their ruling. It has been clearly captured in the most partisan manner.
