The decision to block President Joe Biden’s bid to forgive student debt gives Democrats more electoral ammunition. Read more at straitstimes.com.
WASHINGTON – A young woman broke down in tears outside the United States Supreme Court on Friday – one of the many protesters upset over the court’s decision to block President Joe Biden’s election promise of forgiving student debt.
The court’s decision was a blow to Mr Biden’s agenda – a promise he has failed to keep. Critics say expectations were raised even as many, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, warned that the President did not have the authority to forgive student debt by fiat. “It is the three Trump appointments that form the majority in all cases, so you certainly can make a credible case that it’s the Republicans who were responsible,” Professor Glenn Altschuler, an American studies expert at Cornell University, told The Straits Times.
On the website designer’s case, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote: “Today, the court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class.”Meanwhile, the court’s reputation, often higher than that of most administrations, has sunk, partly because of questions over the ethics of two conservative justices.
A November 2022 Pew Research survey showed that 35 per cent of Americans now see the high court as friendly towards religion – nearly double those who said this in a survey conducted in 2019. On Friday, Californian Congressman Ro Khanna, a Democrat, tweeted that the court is “completely out of touch with everyday Americans”.
