For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
Interesting this is the case that generated him saying that and not eg Dobbs. or maybe it’s in advance of the student loan decision too.

Liberalism is home to a whole lotta compassionate racists which is why demography is so popular among that crowd

If we want to help those people, we need to boil them down into the correct groups, after all

As far as I can tell the case is largely about creative works and is generalized to be about "matters of personal significance" so you can turn down people who want to make weird Nazi or trump websites now I guess.

E: telling Obama that I'm not going to ghostwrite his lovely book because he sucks and having it protected by SCOTUS ftw

My reading is that it's largely about the use of the heroes act as a shield but doesn't specify that it's not something they can't do, so the secretary can likely still cancel the debt they just have to have the stones to do it and not offer an excuse

yeah using covid or w/e is a weird excuse. it should have just been an executive jubilee or w/e and i think that would pass muster

I'm sure this court would find a convoluted way to strike it down anyway, but there is a law congress passed that very obviously gives the president the ability to do whatever the gently caress they want on student loans, and Biden didn't go through that method because he doesn't actually want to forgive student debts and was hoping for this exact outcome.

it was always within the authority of the president to order the department of education to forgive the loans it directly owns, but joe tried to find an excuse to justify why this was going to be just a one time concession and nobody should expect it to mean they can expect future nice things

It is interesting from a like trivia perspective that the Supreme Court case for student loans is Brown vs [something] of Education like school integration.
