He found legal loopholes. This is not illegal. Try again?

Justice Thomas: "In this case, there has been much

discussion about ensuring that a President 'is not above the law.'

But, as the Court explains, the President’s immunity from

prosecution for his official acts is the law...

 

Respecting the protections that the Constitution

provides for the Office of the Presidency secures liberty.

In that same vein, the Constitution also secures liberty

by separating the powers to create and fill offices.

And, there are serious questions whether the Attorney General

has violated that structure by creating an office of

the Special Counsel that has not been established by law.

Those questions must be answered before this prosecution

can proceed. We must respect the Constitution’s

separation of powers in all its forms, else we risk

rendering its protection of liberty a parchment guarantee."

Unfortunately for you and @B-Man you appear ignorant of the law.

 

Biden took other measures to implement different student loan discharges that did not cross any line set by SCOTUS.

 

It’s cool that you member. Just try membering things that actually happen.

So his first crack at it that he described as essentially “they probably won’t let me” and was eventually overturned as illegal was all good?

But it did get shot down at first, then he slithered by with greaseball tactics.

His first crack at it used an EO. SCOTUS said no.

 

Second crack is using proper rule making which SCOTUS has not opined on.

 

He also implemented SAVE which is his own student loan plan. Bush, Obama, Trump had all done the same.

 

A lot of the forgiveness we’re seeing is PSFL actually getting processed, which was part of student loan terms that the Trump admin wasn’t really processing.

The EO which he used words to the effect of “it’s probably not legal/they probably won’t let me” - above the law

1. It didn’t use the words

2. He didn’t repeatedly defy the Supreme Court

 

take the loss and just say you’re ignorant to student loan issues.

Back to the thread:

 

 

In a 6-3 ruling, the Court held that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers.

 

Further, former presidents are also entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts.

 

However, there is no immunity for unofficial acts.

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that former President Donald Trump is immune from federal prosecution for some official acts he took while in office, in split 6-3 ruling. However, the court ruled that there is no immunity for unofficial acts.

 

"Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion. 

 

This ruling may undermine Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution against Trump, in Washington, D.C., for his actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and will likely cause further delays as the lower court will now have to determine which acts alleged in his indictment constitute official or private acts before the case can move forward.

If you would READ before you blindly answer.

 

You would see that that is exactly why the court sent the case back down 

 

It is not up to you or I to decide

I like how BackintheDay gives you a thoughtful response on why it’s not illegal and your response is to take your thumb out of your butt, put it in your ear, and go “nuh uh”
