    Oh goodie I DO hope you are right.

    It is important that the Supremes focus on what the President is constitutionally allowed to do. I tire of the kings in our
    White House (those of any party) deciding they can do whatever they think of.

    I'm curious where in the Constitution is to be found the power for the Federal government to get involved with student loans in the first place.

    Its in the same place where it says public money has to be used to help people pay for religious schools, women cannot make decisions about their reproductive health, and parts of history can be erased or altered if it makes someone else feel bad.

    I think school vouchers, abortion and school curricula should be issues decided at the local level and not by edict from the imperial center. The fact that the Constitution functions to keep the various elements of government in their proper lane is feature rather than a bug. I think the court is best understood in that context rather than as a wish granting institution.

    Current republican presidential nominees have been clear they will restrict abortion and with Pence, he wants no abortion at all. It seems like our presidents are more and more drunk with power. Executive orders fly out of the Oval office in all administrations. Many times Trump threatened to cut federal funding for schools if they did not follow his edict.

    But here is the funny thing. No one wants their federal government involved in their state business. Here in Florida, DeSantis claims we are a free state. But when a hurricane hits then they suddenly want the federal government to pour money into their coffers.

    The supreme court should be ruling on this student loan issue this month, right?

    Gosh, I guess so! Well, President Biden probably will find some other way to allow student loan holders to get off Scott free.

    I was surprised to hear the Supreme Court’s decision about the illegality of affirmative action in college admissions. I’m shocked to know that such discrimination is unconstitutional! This court found it so!

    I guess those students all just need to go out and find a sugar daddy, the way supreme court justices do.

    Yep, as the Babylon Bee pointed out, Democrats are devastated to learn that the Supremes have banned racism.https://babylonbee.com/news/democrat...t-bans-racism/
