Wait. Didn’t the Republican Supreme Court just decided that a president can do anything he damn well wants without consequence? I don’t see the problem. Ignore the 10th and 8th Circuits and implement the program.
the problem is, if you work for the government, and the President tells you to do something illegal or against current policy, you the employee are not shielded from consequences the same way the President is.
I’m not sure that’s ever been conclusively tested.
well yeah, the Supreme Court only just made this ruling a few weeks ago. Username checks out. lol
What I’m hearing is that Biden should spend the rest of his term handwriting checks.
Could Biden just fucken pardon everyone of their student debt? I think the Supreme Court ruling says he can.
Pardon their debt? Unlikely.
Pardon any conviction for violating state law for non-repayment? No.
Preemptively pardon any conviction for violating federal law for non-repayment? Yes.
The only problem would be that a pardon doesn’t expunge the conviction. So they would still have to deal with a legal record, which may or may not be a real problem.
