    This is the exact wishy washy stuff that would let one supreme court uphold and another strike down. You can modify it, but not that much! Stuck down! Lol out legal system is a joke.

      Especially since the language of the HEROES act explicitly states that they can waive or modify. According to the majority forgiveness is clearly not equal to waiving, since you know, they’re different words and it’s impossible for different words to have the same meaning. If congress wanted to give the secretary the power to forgive, they should’ve written forgive instead of waive in the act /s

          They have discussed alternative routs towards executive student loan forgiveness. I think he’s probably too milquetoast to pursue it though, so don’t hold your breath. Though, he is significantly less milquetoast that I originally thought so maybe I am wrong.
