SCOTUS is making him a dictator.

How the hell are they allowing this with no inputs from Congress.

But remember student loan relief was a bridge too ****ing far for these fascists assholes.

They are helping to tear down our democracy. They are part and parcel of the billionaire take over of our democracy.

I can only assume because of the timing of the comment, it involves the just-issued ruling that allows states to access federal records including - including the SSA - to verify citizenship for voter registrations.

The reason why SCOTUS allowed it is because the law specifically allows it.

That would be the input from Congress.

The reason student loaf [sic] debt relief was struck down is because Congress did not allow it and the Executive cannot encumber funding.

You see, SCOTUS interprets within the confines of the law, not creates it just because you feel you have a good argument as to why a certain policy should be enacted. Congress is where those policy arguments are made.

The student loan forgiveness was just another dem attempt to buy votes with our taxpayer money. It was illegal to start with.

Predictably, Putzlcoatl lied about the decision:

Supreme Court Sides With Trump Administration on Screening Voters

A big win for the Trump administration happened at the Supreme Court today. The court ruled that states could in fact use a large federal government database to screen voters for eligibility and keep non-citizens from voting.

The Trump administration can use a wide-ranging government database that includes Social Security information to help state officials identify noncitizens on their voter lists, the Supreme Court said on Friday.

The emergency ruling means the database will be in use for November’s midterm elections. But the fight over the procedure’s legality will continue in the lower courts.

In an unsigned opinion, the majority said the claims made by the voters who challenged the database’s use “likely lack merit.” The court added that, under laws covering the data, “the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters.”

The decision allows states to access a Federal database to learn whether a person on their voting rolls is actually eligible to vote. IOW:

* There is no direct Federal action;

* States are allowed to use the DB, not forced to; thus some states can and will decline to do so;

* Persons removed from voter rolls (if any) will have been removed - not "purged" - because they are ineligible

As an aside, I considered posting this article yesterday, but saying, "DUmmies wil be birthing hissing yowling devil-kittens over this USSC decision," is getting repetitive bordering on boring.
