My "favorite" part of the majority ruling is how the loan forgiveness was struck down because it would harm the loan servicers. Not the government, not the people, the companies that have been contracted to collect the loans. That's who SCOTUS is most concerned with. Should tell us everything we need to know about who's interests are most important - capitalists

Not only did they admit that MOHELA didn't have standing, MOHELA itself said this wouldn't impact them and they didn't ask to be part of the case.

Funny how it turns out that standing doesn't matter when they don't want it to.

Kinda similar to the other case they dropped this morning, allowing LGBT discrimination... despite the fact that it turns out that no gay person ever actually asked this bakery to make them a website for their wedding. When contacted, the man who purportedly sent the email claimed he never sent it and has been married to a woman for years. They don't even give a shit if it's made up they will sign off on it.
