Comment on Biden to defy Supreme Court in second attempt at sweeping student loan handout

  It’s looking like the President can ask the The Secretary of Education to do it. I just found the text and controll-f’ed section 432 that says the secretary may :

  “enforce, pay, compromise, waive, or release any right, title, claim, lien, or demand, however acquired, including any equity or any right of redemption.”

  I don’t suppose I could talk my way out of that one, but perhaps those against such policy with friends on the judicial bench would fare better than I.

    I will chalk this up to I don’t know. Doesn’t appear to be enough info for a laymen to make a decision.
