tl;dr--The student loan servicers are corrupt, ripping off former students, me included. Democrats are trying to fix it and provide some overall relief, quickly and untargeted, but Republicans and their allies on the bench are blocking the effort, and Millennials that know this are *pissed off*. 17/17

Are You Ready for Another Bush v. Gore?
#SCOTUS Is.

How #Trump could win, thanks to just 5 votes.

The #SupremeCourt will begin a new term on Monday, in which it is set to hear pivotal cases about #transgender rights, our #environment, & #GunViolence. But the term’s biggest blockbuster could be a case that not only hasn’t yet been filed, but is still just a concept.

That’s because in the next 3 months, the justices may be asked to inject themselves into the late stages of the #2024election. If presented w/such an opportunity, this could be the term that #SCOTUS elects Donald #Trump.

4 yrs ago, Trump & his allies attempted to overturn his 2020 loss from the WH, while his allies controlled legislatures in the critical states of PA, WI, AZ, & GA, as well as key institutions like the #Wisconsin#SupremeCourt.

"The story of that period has a powerful resonance today as #Trump, angered in part by the two #federal & two state-level #indictments... threatens to carry out a campaign of #retribution if he returns to the White House. He has signaled that a 2nd Trump administration would be stocked not with people who served as #guardrails during his first term, but with carefully vetted loyalists who would eagerly carry out his wishes"

"If elected again, he would also return to the White House bolstered by the #SupremeCourt 's ruling in July that former presidents have broad #immunity from prosecution for official acts taken while in office."

#SCOTUS won't allow #LGBT #student #protection in certain states

The U.S. #SupremeCourt declined on Friday to let President Joe #Biden's admin enforce a key part of a new rule protecting LGBT students from #discrimination in #schools & #colleges based on #gender identity in 10 #Republican-led states that had challenged it.

“He made #Minnesota the first state in the country to pass a #law providing constitutional #abortion protections after the #SupremeCourt overturned #RoeVWade, & as an avid hunter, he passed a bill requiring #UniversalBackgroundChecks for #gun purchases.

“But what impressed me most about Tim is his deep commitment to his family: Gwen, Gus, & Hope. Doug & I look forward to working w/him & Gwen to build an administration that reflects our shared values.

“These popular reforms will help to restore confidence in the court, strengthen our #democracy & ensure no one is above the #law.”[#Harris cont]
Critics of the #Biden reform plan say that it is an attack on judicial independence,but that’s not right.…the current #SCOTUS—the crown jewel of a #conservative movement that spent 50yrs & millions…trying to shape the court in its favor—is not…independent of the ideological movement & #political party that trained its members & shaped its jurisprudence

Reform, then, is less an effort to restrain the #independence of the #SupremeCourt than it is the beginning of a long battle to restore the independence that was lost when #conservatives seized this branch of our government for their own ends.

Whether or not #Biden’s reform plan can pass, it is important that he has planted a flag in opposition to #SCOTUS — a marker for the next generation of #Democrats to work from. And VP #KamalaHarris …has already said that she will pick up the standard if elected in November.

“There is a clear crisis of confidence facing the #SupremeCourt as its fairness has been called into question after numerous #ethics scandals & decision after decision overturning longstanding #precedent,” Harris said…

#SCOTUS on July 1 ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that #Trump & other presidents are absolutely #immune from #prosecution when carrying out their core constitutional powers, but can face #trial for private conduct or for official acts under narrow exceptions to be hammered out by lower courts. Judge #Chutkan now must decide which if any of Trump’s efforts to overturn the #2020election while president may be prosecutable.

However, a trial will not be possible before his November #election matchup against MVP #Harris …because whatever the judge decides is expected to wind up back before #SCOTUS next year.

#Legal analysts noted that nearly 5 weeks after the #SupremeCourt issued its landmark decision in Trump v. United States, some of the urgency that once drove the #ElectionInterference case has dissipated.

US prosecutors & lawyers for #Trump will return to federal court on Aug 16 to decide how his #2020election #obstruction case can proceed after #SCOTUS ruled last month that presidents have broad #immunity from prosecution.

US District Judge Tanya #Chutkan set the hearing in Washington after the #SupremeCourt returned the case to her control on Friday.

In just the last term, the Roberts court has rewritten the #14thAmendment to keep Donald #Trump on the presidential ballot as well as radically expanded presidential #power in direct contravention of the history, text & structure of the #Constitution.

We have, in other words, a #corrupt & #lawless court that, led by its #conservative majority, has put itself above the constitutional system as the exclusive arbiter of constitutional meaning.

The #Constitution means whatever the #JohnRoberts court says it means, even when that meaning conflicts w/the basic principles of American #democracy.

It is against this backdrop of institutional #dysfunction & #judicial arrogance that President #Biden, fresh from his decision to leave the campaign trail in favor of his vice president, introduced his three-point package of #SupremeCourt reforms.
