If you’d like to provide demonstrative proof the Biden admin knew the program was unconstitutional when proposing it, please provide it.

 

Separately, if you’d like to provide proof the program is unconstitutional if they put it through the APA notice and comment period as provided in the latest court case please provide that.

 

Otherwise let the grown ups talk.

 

if you listen to Brianna joy grey speak and alot of other progressives (shes in a quote a few right above your message)... or other people who actually do want loan forgiveness (krystal ball ect ect) they brought up more sound laws that biden could have used to get this done. they been questioning why biden used such a very weak emergency order to try to achieve this and had HUGE doubts it would hold up. seeing as biden has access to the top lawyers in the country one has to think if this does not pass it was intentional to con voters. I'm no lawyer but seeing as what they said would happen has been halted by the courts relatively quickly. no reason to think they were wrong.

Didn't Nancy say that only Congress can cancel student load debt, not Joke on his own?

Demonstrative proof  … that’s grown up talk?  in Appalachia ? 

 

any way, this loan forgiveness ‘promise’ looks every bit like a vote buying political stunt done so with full understanding of legal barriers, potentially insurmountable, which was curiously timed just prior to midterms and you well know it, sometimes, depending on which post.

Yes in July of 21.. in a very public engagement with legal teams and the Whitehouse and press corp.

 

but I think they left out the most educated poster in the history of the internet who’s the real legal expert here.

@Backintheday544 Are you a lawyer?  If so, you're wasting your energy trying to explain the nuance of the law to people who don't know how to think like a lawyer.

I'd assume almost anyone would be able to understand that the question of constitutionality is often not an easy one; if it was, then every judicial vote on the question would be unanimous and we wouldn't even need judicial review for it.  It's a basic conclusion.  

Unfortunately, like someone said earlier, we have a dumb electorate... so even the basics can be hard to convey.

I couldn’t help but read your post in the voice of Professor Housman. 😉 But you forgot the part about ‘minds full of mush’.

Critical thinking isn’t your forte. It’s ok. Not everyone is meant to be smart or understand basic concepts of the law or even simple analogies.

 

Ill try to break this down for you to match your intellect.

 

Misinformation that was provided: Biden knew the student loan program was unconditional 

 

Why is it misinformation: 

- no evidence has been provide the the admin thought it was unconstitutional

- several challenges to the law have ended up in the Biden admin winning

- the current challenge isn’t that the program is unconstitutional, it’s that it didn’t go through notice and comment under the APA and is being appealed

 

Your silly attempt at saying the Biden admin knows it’s unconstitutional: Because it’s been challenged on courts

 

Why that’s an argument even a person with an 8 year olds intellect wouldn’t make: administrations get challenged on programs all the time. The fact of knowing something would get challenged doesn’t mean they know it’s unconstitutional. 
 

Based on your flawed logic and arguments, I’m unable to tell if you have a basic high school education, but if you do maybe look at a place like SNHU to help you further your education and develop some critical thinking.

 

Heres a link to the application:

If you keep your student loans to under $10,000, the new student forgiveness plan announced by Biden will have complete forgiveness in just 5 years.

 

Ahhh the condescending liberal.  You should move to the Bay Area.  You’d fit right in.

What a mess.

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, a Trump appointee, ruled on Thursday that Biden’s debt relief program is “an unconstitutional exercise of Congress’s legislative power and must be vacated.”

 

Unless the supreme court rules differently then it is unconstitutional. As for whether Biden knew it was unconstitutional, no one can say for sure what he knows anymore but according to the NYT:

Last week, President Biden announced a plan to wipe out up to $20,000 of student loan debt for tens of millions of low- and middle-income Americans, in a striking about-face for a president who just last year doubted whether he had the unilateral authority to cancel student loan debt on such a broad basis.

 

Seriously it took like three minutes of a search.

This might be proof, but I’m not sure about ‘demonstrative proof’.  I think that requires acting something out… like highly educated grown ups do

Biden is using this act of Congress to justify loan forgiveness 

The HEROES Act was passed after 9-11 that allows for the forgiveness of student loan requirements during certain periods of hardship in the country, like during a war or national emergency.Aug 30, 2022

 

In order for it to actually face a legal challenge though, someone would have to make a case in court that they've been harmed by the widespread student debt cancelation.

This has all already been covered and a judge ruled it was unconstitutional- take a look a few posts prior to yours.

It will be appealed , one judge saying it's unconstitutional  does not make it final.

No…… You don’t really understand the American legal system.

 

1. there is an appeals court after the district court that is not the Supreme Court. That is where the case will go first.

 

2. It was ruled unconstitutional by this lower court judge because it violated the Administrative Procedures Act that requires notice and comments for most Federal action. The Biden admin content that this did not need notice and comment because it is exempt from APA by statute.

 

So the Constitutional issue that will go before the Appeals court and then the Supreme Court here is whether or not the action needed go through APA procedures.
 

(The secondary issue is whether these people even have standing and this is most likely the issue that will win at Appeals and the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has already shot down 2 standing issues related to this program)

Ok this could work. But prove your hardship.  There are hardship rules regarding early distributions for 401k’s that eliminate the pre 59 1/2 10% penalty.  Having loan debt does not itself constitute a hardship.  Especially if you’re making a quarter million a year.

Or maybe, just maybe, the government should stop loaning money to people. Problem solved!

I’m not saying they’re going to fix it. But I’m done getting mad about it. This country WAY beyond fixing.
