        He didn’t have a supreme court decision saying the president can do whatever they want as long as it’s an official act then.

          The president can simply begin killing SCOTUS judges until the court has a liberal majority.

          But that opens the door to Republicans doing the same thing, which they would NEVER do otherwise (unless they felt like it).

          So the Dems are powerless and the GOP has unlimited power.

            Do that, have the new justices reverse the previous decision. Implement corrections to prevent such a thing from happening again. Problem solved.

      This is like the 5th attempt at this. Of all the things to accuse him of not trying to accomplish, student loan forgiveness is not one of them

        For real. As someone who stands to benefit from student loan forgiveness, and has been following this from the start, it’s actually very impressive how much effort this administration has gone through to continue to find other means to do so. He’s forgiven (at least) tens of millions of dollars since the SCOTUS shut down the official program.

        Most would have just given up there, but they have been fighting hard for this, and I wish people gave them more credit for this.
