Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Friday again blocked a challenge to the Biden Administration’s student debt relief program, Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports. It’s not clear who the plaintiffs were because Gerstein fucked up the link to the order.
We’re going to go ahead and openly question if Barrett really is blocking this on the “merits” or if she just wants Republicans to take the L on this issue for fear of aggravating 22 million would-be relief recipients with just days to go before the midterms. It’s like not ACB and the other five assholes couldn’t simply make up a “constitutionally valid” reason to hold up and then squash Biden’s order if they really wanted to. Easier to just let it slide rather than risk it for Republicans at the polls.
