This is the system established by law for student loan forgiveness; it was unilaterally hamstrung administratively by the Trump Administration.
If yes, that was Bush's doing. He kneecapped it, not Trump
No, I'm talking about the process in this article.
So, if executive action by trump's cabinet was responsible for eliminating the existing process, it follows that prior executive process brought forgiveness to life previously.
A process is not a law.
My point is that we already have laws to adjudicate tort / fraud claims.
We don't need another (based on no law) to have unelected political operators to choose which fraud claims are to be heard, and which will not.
Equality is under the law. Not under process.
The executive action didn't technically erase the legal process, it just created administrative barriers to recovery and limited the amount of recovery to less than the full amount at issue even where all the hoops it erected were jumped through.
That borrower defense to repayment is an existing legal process has never been in dispute.
> So, if executive action by trump's cabinet was responsible for eliminating the existing process
It was not, the process wasn't eliminated it was just made less effective.
its called the court system
if there is fault, that's the way to adjudicate. The extent that the govt is making that more difficult (not encouraging class action due to no regulation in place), then that should be done . Everything else is risky precedent
