So we back to blaming notorious rbg
I never stopped blaming her. My issue with Democrats has always been that they won’t go nuclear on Republicans the way that they do everyone else. Republicans woke up today and said we’re about to overturn one of your biggest policy victories just because. But it’s bigger than that, it’s also 2016 and the party as a whole fukking up.

Feel bad for the people that were going to see a material improvement in their lifestyle. Can't imagine what it's like living under the crushing burden of compounding debt.

Next time someone tells you this is the greatest country on Earth. Ask them "why?"

…..term limits? So you wanted them to amend the constitution, which would require 38 states to ratify the amendment in under 4 years? Do you have anything comparable to that from the last 60 years? Last amendment to the constitution was in like 1992 and that took 200+ years to ratify.


And I will never understand this logic. Republicans do some shyt you don’t like and you blame the democrats. I’m always gonna side with the people who aren’t actively moving against my interest.
You don't amend the constitution. Lol at you thinking the democrats are for your interest. What did they pass with a super majority under Obama? They're great at window dressing legislation but true reform and change they'll never agree to. They're just as bought and paid for as the republicans they just pass enough crumbs on to lbgt or minorities to say they're better wrt to legislation. Republicans have just lost their minds and decided to go fascist beause they know the democrats won't actually try to take down their whole party which needs to happen

The average student loan payment is 350

The average debt is 30k

We had 42 months of no payments or your payments going straight to principle

So people that continued to pay got their debt cut in half. People that used the money for something else should be ahead somewhere else in life

people with student loan debt aren’t the one Boiling in this heat or walking around like zombies

This ruling is terrible but it was relief for the fortunate

How long you have to work for the government to have loans forgiven?
Public service loan forgiveness is 120 payments and your loans are forgiven (10 years).

Biden admin can do some creative things with PSLF... even more than the stuff they have done which they deserve kudos for.

And that's not just government. It's teaching, non-profit work, etc.

Oh look, performative legislation. Article III of the constitution says life tenure. A law csnt charge that. They had to amend the constitution after FDR 4-peated to avoid another president from doing it

Supreme Court lifetime terms are not in the Constitution. IT could be a change with the law.

The issue is the Court would overrule it, but there is nothing in the constitution about term limits for the Court.

There was a bill put in the House last year to establish Supreme Court term limits:

That’s a bill. That’s a suggested law, not an actual law. Please show me the citation in US code, demonstrating that it became law.


Article III section 1, from the constitution. Life tenure.

It does not say life tenure:

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
