NAL but we’re in uncharted territory here with the administration ignoring court orders.

Not entirely uncharted.

I'm not sure how it was done legally, but when the Supreme Court ruled that Biden administration's student loan forgiveness was unconstitutional, Biden (or rather, his team) found another way to forgive loans.

I expect Trump's administration to similarly find legal workarounds.

Yeah, they found another way. The Court said they couldn't do it one way, so they found legal ways to cancel debt. That's not ignoring a court order.

Yes, and?

The supreme court ruled how the loans were canceled, not on Biden's desire to cancel loans

false equivalency

> found another way to forgive loans

finding another _legal_ way to do something is not at all the same as ignoring a court order or breaking the law

Uncharted for the US. Well known in other regimes.
