We live in the timeline where we can't forgive loans because a company would lose some profits if there were fewer kids to exploit

Note to SCOTUS...it is unfair that children with generational wealth enjoy better health care, access to drs. from birth, more protein enriched diets, cleaner air, cleaner water, better education. So if you, SCOTUS, are in the business of fairness, let's tax inheritance at 100% so everyone starts at a level playing field. That would be fair.

The Supreme Court is NOT in the business of fairness. It's in the business of standing up for democratically crafted law, no matter how unfair those laws may be.
If we keep electing and reelecting lawmakers to represent us, and they keep passing unfair laws, then we really should knock that off.
But it's dangerous to say that the few, unelected, and unaccountable members of the Supreme Court should be overriding the democratic process when they don't agree with the outcome.
@volkris @bryanculbertson Sometimes when we pontificate on things we know little about, others cannot see what it was that triggered the diatribe. My toot was in response to Gorshuch 's questioning of the fairness to those that had paid off student loans when other's loans are forgoven. I do understand that SCOTUS does not make laws but I do grow weary of this court and the need to constantly re-argue, re-litigate, re-visit every thing the court has before them.
@Sharronatom63Gray @bryanculbertson
I mean, they grow weary of it too!
But it is their job to go ahead and accept cases and controversies where law might be violated and needs to be settled.
Very often you can tell in the opinions that the court would rather not be involved, especially when it is relitigating the same old thing, but that's just how government works.
For the sake of supporting democratic principles, the court must be willing to push back on the executive branch as needed, whether it wants to or not.
