The lengths people will go through to stop something that hurts nobody, but helps many always astounds me.

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.

Biden should decree it as an official act, and order the branches to do it anyway.

Call their Bluff, and better yet do it with a "low stakes" issue so they have to put up or shut up.

Its open faced at this point, this kind of shit will continue until the rulings are ignored. The reason student loans got so much focus is because unlike other legislation proposals, student loans are entirely at the discretion of the department of education under the executive branch. Like how the DEA has authority over drug scheduling.

The executive branch has these authorities, the judiciary does not have the authority to rescind them, only congress can

Good! If we allow Working Class Americans to have MORE MONEY we WON'T have enough to give to Jeff Bezos so he can buy another Yacht for his Yacht!

Thanks, I hate conservatives.

Wow. The popups on Forbes are bad. I had one covering the lower third until another ad popped up, covering the whole screen of my phone. I literally had one ad blocking another ad.

I'm not a lawyer.

The article kinda sucks on educational value.

Summary:

To sort out a legal mess two circuit courts made with contradictory rulings about the nature of student loan repayments, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued an order to halt the SAVE program's implementation entirely, temporarily, until they issue a final ruling.

The order is likely legally binding in all subordinate Federal Circuit Courts with jurisdiction over: Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Editorial:

It's fucked, like a judicial system filibuster.

Biden should pause repayments until the courts figure their shit out.

Ngl, the more this happens the more servicers are confused about what they should be collecting and from whom, and that’s actually a win for the borrowers (not as much of a win as this shit going through but still).

For example, due to the slew of challenges, I’m still on $0 repayment through October and don’t even have to certify income for that. And who knows if they will actually move forward with resuming charges for it; this is the second time it’s been delayed for me.

I hope the system does get thrown into complete chaos if it doesn’t all get forgiven or at least restructured. That would be better than people having to pay for worthless and/or overpriced degrees, and not being able to do shit with their lives.

Do you know how small a number 8 million is in comparison to the entire US population? And these assholes are still trying to block it. Fucking sick of this shit.
