[Rhiannon12866]

A Trump appointed Federal Judge Mark Pittman has declared the Biden Student Debt Cancellation Program unconstitutional and has prevented its implementation. MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas breaks down the ruling with his co-hosts Brett Jordy as the ruling was handed down on The MeidasTouch Podcast.

1. Why is student debt unconstitutional but farmers' debt isn't? PPP debt isn't? -nt

2. Is this decision final for the whole nation, or can it be appealed?

3. It can be appealed to the very conservative 5th Circuit court, and then

to the very conservative U.S. Supreme Court. Lovely. (I have no legal expertise -- I'm basing this on what I heard on this morning's NPR Up First podcast.)

4. Sorry to hear that the likelyhood of this decision being overturned is slim.

Apparently these effin magats' brains are wired against helping people.

5. This comment may go beyond what some people have been following but this week

the USSC heard argument in the Baby O case and if the court interfers/modifies the ICWA that was afforded to Native Americans eons ago that will be the tip off that they intend to do it in this debt cancellation program as well.

We maybe have won the war on Nov 8, but lost the battle.

There is a 15 minute Democracy Now video on the USSC hearing on Baby O case. It explains the case in a nut shell.
