Correction: They can, they just don't want to. If supreme court accepts it, then it's cancelled, but it's more interesting for them to have a bunch of poor people with a fuck ton of debt up their arses, hence why they don't do it
They clearly, obviously, blatantly will not accept it. They shut him down on cancelling a smaller amount. They won't just allow him to cancel a larger amount. All sending it to them does is create more precedent limiting the power of the executive, there is no reason to do that. There's zero upside.
Which once again reinforces that government can't do because government doesn't want to, because they have the choice to not do anything
And why bother? They don't have debt, it's not their problem, so they don't care enough to do something about it
