Agree with this as well - lots of people way smarter than the dem consultants running the white house have been saying they should use the HEA from the beginning. Especially because part of that legal path is a comments period that will take a long time. A long time that runs directly into the election, just another instance of Dems causing more political problems for themselves.

In reality though, laws are just words on paper. Standing, limits on judicial review, all this stuff only means anything if we all agree that it does. If (when) the court completely violates these previously held rules (nobody can stop them truly, see this completely fake gay discrimination case they ruled on if the student loans doesn’t convince you), Biden has to either meet the challenge head on or save face while taking the L. He’s already pre-empted today’s ruling by saying that he would never “politicize the court” lol, so we know what his take is, and that is shared near universally among the people with pull inside the pary.

Political power springs from the ba…err from the bang of a gavel? Way less scary than growing from a gun, we hate those here
