The US Supreme Court issued two decisions that left conservatives and liberals disappointed. It’s about LGBTQ rights and the government’s plan to waive some student loans.
They are angry, upset and frustrated. Many students hoped that some of their student loans would be waived by the government. The Supreme Court has now stopped US President Joe Biden’s plan.
Young Americans have vented their frustrations on Tiktok: “We hoped for a while that judges would make decisions like normal people. That’s been shattered in the last 24 hours,” says a woman on the video platform. Another user says, “You rich kids keep enjoying free trips and great resumes.”
Others, particularly conservative Americans, expressed relief that the majority of justices felt that the government had overstepped its powers. She should have let Parliament vote instead of launching the relief package, which is equivalent to about 394 billion euros, herself.
A young man lashes out: “You have student loan debt? Stop going to Starbucks every day and get a better paying job.” Another user is happy because: “We who didn’t study don’t want to pay your loans.”
Setback for Biden
For President Biden, the decision is a major setback. Helping students was one of his main campaign promises. And to be re-elected next year, he needs the votes of the youth.
“Today’s decision closed a path, and now we have to find a new path,” Biden said. “I will never stop fighting for you. We will do whatever it takes to cancel your debt so you can pursue your dreams. It’s good for the economy, it’s good for the country and it’s going to be good for you.”
Further decisions divided the country
On the last day before summer vacation, the US Supreme Court made a decision that divided the country. I made a deal with a religious web designer who refuses to design wedding websites for gay couples. Your right to free speech takes precedence over any Colorado anti-discrimination law.
For liberal Americans, this is a scandal. Attorney Joy Jackson told CNN, “If we allow the Constitution to protect discrimination because we say, well, if you don’t believe it, you don’t have to serve the person. What then? Will there be deals that restrict who they serve and how, because they say, ‘It’s my constitutional right?'”
Conservative majority on the Supreme Court
Conservatives, on the other hand, are also elated with this decision. Either way, the deciding factor was that conservative-leaning justices on the Supreme Court now enjoyed a clear majority: six to three. Especially since former President Donald Trump was able to nominate three of them during his term.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, told Foxnews: “I am very proud of the Supreme Court and its decisions. The justices have stood for free speech and stopped the out-of-control madness spiraling out of Washington. This is a big day for our country and a reminder that we have a conservative majority in the judiciary thanks to Donald Trump nominations”.
Resolutions divided the country
A day earlier, the Supreme Court had prohibited universities from making race or ethnic origin a determining criterion when selecting applicants to a university. This practice should give better opportunities to minorities.
Decisions divide not only the country, but also the judges themselves. Defeated liberals accuse their fellow conservatives of making political decisions.
