Biden’s student debt relief will probably be struck down based on the well known legal doctrine of “Democratic Presidents Cannot Enact Anything” and also “LOL, FUCK YOU”.
Whereas if we were living in the correct timeline right now, the case never would have been heard because there is no class of people is experiencing any harm from the program other than “hurt feelings.”
Justice Gorsuch questions ‘fairness’ of Biden’s student debt relief plan
Conservative Supreme Court justices expressed their skepticism of President Joe Biden’s controversial plan to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loans for some borrowers and wipe away nearly half a trillion in debt. CNN’s Jessica Schneider reports.
I guess it is fine that you can now look up car crashes data, but when will we have a data base that lets you know if a Youth Pastor lives nearby? WHY WON’T STEPHANIE HANSEN THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?!

When your election fraud claims are too crazy for Arizona Republicans to entertain, you’ve really achieved something.
Arizona Republicans disavow wide-ranging bribery allegation
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s Republican-controlled Legislature has for years entertained a host of unsupported theories about fraudsters manipulating election results since Donald Trump’s loss in 2020.
But lawmakers reached a limit for what they will tolerate last week, when a daylong hearing about elections ended with a presentation accusing a wide range of politicians, judges and public officials of taking bribes from a Mexican drug cartel.
Republican leaders raced Monday to distance themselves from the claims after they caught fire over the weekend on social media, where accounts that routinely share unsubstantiated claims of election fraud covered them widely. It was an embarrassment for an election fraud movement that has mostly found a sympathetic, or at least tolerant, ear among Arizona legislative Republicans.
These House Republicans really are some sick mother fuckers.
House Oversight Chair Laments That Joe Biden’s Dead Son Was Never Prosecuted
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer invoked the late son of President Joe Biden on Tuesday, lamenting that Beau Biden was never prosecuted over an investigation into illegal contributions involving his father’s 2008 presidential campaign.
When he’s not busy threatening pay-TV providers for not carrying his favorite right-wing channels, or warning that Chinese spy balloons may drop “bioweapons” on the U.S., Comer has devoted much of his energy to launching an investigation into presidential son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
“It was an embarrassment for an election fraud movement…”
For me, that’s the best part of the Arizona story. As if the “election fraud movement” was capable of being embarrassed.
Election fraud “movement” is a movement the way taking a shit is a bowel “movement.”
Here’s a fun story: A study last year found 80 percent of Americans had glyphosate, the chemical in RoundUp, in their urine. Quick, chemical industry, tell me how wonderful GMO foods are. Hint: It’s not the modifications, it’s what the modifications are for — dumping tons of poison on crops that have been modified to be immune to it.

“Chief Justice Roberts has questions on student-loan cancellation: ‘How does that fit under the normal understanding of modify?’”
Perhaps Chief Justice Robert could ask any of the banks that “modified” Trump loans.
He’s going to go down in history next to Roger B. Taney.
Let’s hope for his sake his face doesn’t melt like Taney’s.
