    The president is free to kill his opponents, but he can’t forgive debt? Your corruption is showing Supreme Court.

    So Biden could just dismiss the debt and say it was an official act. To be clear, he simply lacks the will.

      The Supreme Court gets to decide what is an official act. And he can’t dismiss supreme court’s justices… however…

      Unsurprising since he almost single-handedly caused the student loan crisis when he took a gigantic payout from MBNA to pen the bankruptcy protection act of 2005. This legislation prevented student loans from being disbursed in bankruptcy.

      I’ll say it again:

      I hope Joe Biden burns in hell for subjecting all future generations to indentured servitude in the form of exploitative student loans with astronomical interest rates and inescapable bankruptcy clauses.

          Oh absolutely. Don’t get me started on the myriad of issues that I didn’t mention. It was impossible for me to bite my tongue when people were trying to shove him down my throat as a “decent man”.

          These are exactly the same people that are currently attempting to repair war criminal George W. Bush’s image:

      That is exactly what he should do. Then dismiss any Justice who disagrees with him as an official act as well.

      The ruling was that the president is immune from criminal punishment over offical acts not that the president can pass any laws they want.

        Arguably, passing a law without congress would be an unofficial act and breaking the law.

        At that point, he could be impeached, and after impeachment, charged with a crime related to the impeachment.

      Exactly.

      He’s already unilaterally cancelled bits of student debt for several categories of people.

      The SCOTUS is just giving him cover.
