It's not misrepresenting to say that the Biden administration has been warned of this exact problem for nearly a year now by legal scholars who were then maligned as wreckers and ignored:

"Legal challenges are inevitable. Private banks administer many of these loans, and they will incur millions in losses when the debts are canceled, meaning that those banks would have standing in federal courts. State programs may also be concretely affected, and such states also are likely to sue. These plaintiffs will probably prevail unless the Department of Education narrows the plan’s scope or relies on a different statute when it finalizes the policy.

[...]

Such a statute [that supports cancellation] may exist in plain sight: the Higher Education Act of 1965, which allows the Department of Education to “enforce, pay, compromise, waive, or release any right, title, claim, lien, or demand, however acquired, including any equity or any right of redemption.” The purpose of this clause and this statute appears to fit the real structural social reasons for the Biden administration’s broad policy." - Jed Shugarman in the above-linked Sept. 4, 2022 Atlantic article.

Experts have been warning about the flimsiness of using the HEROS act and have been summarily ignored. The fact of the matter is that Joe Biden, the actual architect of USA Student Debt, the person who is responsible for student debt being exempt from bankruptcy, and his administration do not care about helping as many people being crushed by the policies he built throughout his career as quickly as possible outside of their own political gains.

They knew this was going to fail in the courts, and instead of blaming their poorly constructed plan they now can blame a reactionary court and use the HEA discharge plan to whip voters coming up to the election.

I get that people will feel like they have to vote for who they need to, but you can do that without duping yourself into believing that any of these ghouls are our friends.
