A federal appeals court on Thursday temporarily blocked a key Biden student loan forgiveness and repayment plan. The order could have significant ramifications.
Remember, the president is absolutely above the law and can commit a coup or order political assassinations with impunity. But he can’t make decisions about how to implement policies, even when congress gives him that authority.
The seems like the perfect chance to use that immunity. He should use it to sign an executive order to cancel all student debt based on the supreme court decision. Let the republicans object and force the court to either allow it or rule that the president doesn’t actually have immunity.
The problem is that you have to find a way to cancel it before anyone can say no. But if it takes any time at all, they can tell those agencies to stop.
Doesn’t work that way, there has to be a case and depending on how they feel about they case they might choose to delay until after the election or make it a priority.

They left the ruling open enough that SCOTUS can pick and choose what is and is not an official act.
Hard to argue that an executive order isn’t an official act, but I dount they care about keeping the mask of legitimacy on anymore
Yeah, that mask has been slipping for years now.
Looks like you got got by your keyboard btw
It’s more fun to imagine I spelled donut wrong hahaha
It’s kind of unfortunate that I’m so fatfingered on a phone keyboard and that I primarily use my phone for lemmy
Exactly, force them to decide on every order he makes. By November we will have a list of do’s and don’ts.
