After the Supreme Court - by a 6-3 count - ruled that King Joe Biden overstepped his powers by forgiving billions of dollars of student loans (thus forcing the state's to basically have to foot the bill for a free college education), Elana Kagan had these sour grapes:
Kagan wrote in a dissent, joined by the court’s two other liberals, that the majority of the court “overrides the combined judgment of the Legislative and Executive Branches, with the consequence of eliminating loan forgiveness for 43 million Americans.”
Kagan seems to think that if it's the will of the majority - heck, in this case, the will of the president alone! - than SCOTUS shouldn't interfere! Talking about opening the door for a president to have dictatorial powers!
Will guess what Elana? It's not SCOTUS's job to follow the judgement of the other two branches. It's the job of the court to decide whether the other branches violated to U.S. Constitution. She obviously doesn't understand the purpose of the Supreme Court, which is a very scary thought.
