Biden should at least go full Office Space and move all of their desks to the basement of the Supreme Court building. Maybe pass an executive order where the justices all have to ride to work together on a special Supreme Court short bus. I’m fine if he keeps it petty but I just hope he does something to show how dumb of a ruling it is (but probably won’t).

He can forgive student loans anyway despite being sued.

Not possible in the way you think. First of all he wasn’t being sued over student loan forgiveness the government was, generally speaking you can’t sue the president.

Second the supreme court ruling is about criminal liability, that is/was a civil case.

And lastly of the 400 billion in student loan debt that order would have forgiven the Biden administration has managed to claw back something like 170 billion in loan forgiveness through other means.

“Other means” being what is directly inline with the unitary executive theory that conservatives have been pushing on you for decades.

JUST WAVE THE WAND is why people hate Obama.

I think technically he could order someone with the legal authority to use lethal force to do that. So probably the NSA or CIA.

CIA “can’t” operate within US soil.

They sent it back to a lower court so the actual details can be delayed and decided after the election.

So no, Biden can’t. If trump wins he most certainly can.

Both sides

Okay so in that case what Biden could do is go ahead and execute all of his political opponents and then if the lower court returns that the ruling of the supreme Court is unconstitutional than the new supreme Court can decide whether or not to uphold that.

To decide if the list of trumps illegal actions are considered official like social media posts. Now that the rule is set to protect anything official Biden only has to put it on white house stationary to make any action legal.

Which consequentially defines what the president can do. SCOTUS did NOT give Biden permission to execute them.
