Why did the press let Biden defy the Supreme Court but won't let trump.?

[StatesRightsForever]

The press blasts trump for doing what they gladly let Biden do. Biden was told repeatedly by the courts he could not cancel student debt, but he did it over and over and even bragged, "The Supreme Court blocked it but that didn't stop me." The press cheered him for that.

feb 23 2024 American Presidents may not like Supreme Court decisions, but most since Andrew Jackson haven’t bragged about defying its rulings. Not even Donald Trump. Then there’s President Biden, who, while canceling more student debt this week, boasted about ignoring the Supreme Court’s landmark 2023 ruling that his previous loan forgiveness plan was illegal..


Speaking in Culver City, Calif., on Wednesday, Mr. Biden said his original plan to “provide millions of working families with debt relief for their college student debt” was derailed by “MAGA Republicans” and “special interests” who challenged the plan in court. “The Supreme Court blocked it,” Mr. Biden added, “but that didn’t stop me.” He apparently thinks defying the law is a virtue.
On Wednesday Mr. Biden wrote off another $1.2 billion in student-loan debt, bringing the total amount he has canceled to some $138 billion. That’s not as much as the $400 billion debt cancellation a 6-3 Supreme Court majority struck down last summer, but it’s still a handout to 3.9 million borrowers.

He’s not really cancelling anything because he’s transferring the debt from the borrowers it benefited to the taxpayers who will finance it with higher taxes or interest payments on the rising national debt.

It didn't really matter, did it? Voters didn't "cheer".

Weren't students just informed that their debts will be referred to debt collectors?

I believe we have a recent thread on it.

Because that is the norm for Democrats, double standard, they expect you to do the right thing, knowing they will not, and then project it onto you!

Yes - trump is NOT cancelling student debt. He is enforcing the law.

Courts are overrated in my opinion.

Yes - trump is NOT cancelling student debt. He is enforcing the law.

The point is, if Biden had actually forgave the debt there now would be nothing to collect.

Yes, only after Joe Biden bragged on social media that he had defied the Supreme Court. The left cheered for that. Were you one of them?

Your article is more than a year old.

Despite collapse of his forgiveness plan, millions had student loans canceled under Biden

Despite failing to deliver his promise for broad student loan forgiveness, President Joe Biden has now overseen the cancellation of student loans for more than 5 million Americans.

And is there any doubt that, if Trump had done exactly the same thing, you'd be cheering?

I was against the idea from day one starting off because it wasn't paid for.

Hey stupid. Biden didn't cancel ALL student debt. About $200B of it. Still lots of student debt out there and Super-T is making them pay up.

I know that. That's when Joe the Pedophile Vegetable made his incredible comment about defying the courts.

But it didn't work. Cancellation occurred under existing programs.

He fiddled a bit pretending he was doing something.

Just another empty campaign promise.
