Q: Biden said not confident in Student Loan outcome A: BC we’re confident in our legal authority

#shorts On 3/2/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "Let me ask you one separate question —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Sure.

Reporter: — if I can then. I apologize. Thanks for letting me follow up. The President — yesterday, from the podium, you said that there was “no other plan”; the President was focused on the plan that exists, as it relates to student loan forgiveness right now before the Supreme Court. The President told us on the lawn yesterday, we’re “confident [we’re] on the right side of the law, but… not confident about the outcome of the decision yet.”

So because the President himself said that he is not confident of the outcome of the decision, what is the White House doing? Or why is the White House not preparing a plan B to help those who have student loans know what they need to do to prepare themselves if it’s rejected by the court?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Because we’re confident in our legal authority.
Reporter: Well, he just said he’s not confident in the outcome, though, so it doesn’t matter —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Because — but who —
Reporter: — if you’re confident in your authority.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: But who — but, of course, who would know how the Supreme Court is going to go? No one knows how the Supreme Court is going to rule.
Reporter: Well, you have a pretty good sense because it’s a 6-3 conservative lean right now.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: But it doesn’t mean that we can’t be confident in the merit, in our standing, and we are. We’re confident —

Reporter: So we’re going to have faith because of the — I’m just — I didn’t meant to interrupt, but you’re going to have faith that — that your argument is the one they — that the law supports, even if you don’t think they will support it, and not make an alternative plan?

The borrowers need to pay their own debt. Why should I pay it for them

[John-zcrz]

This has never been about student debt, this is pay back to the large university’s and banks. If you follow the money it all goes to the large university’s and banks this is money laundering at its most profound level.

[nickcharles]

How about asking the students to pay their loans back? It’s called a loan not a gift!

[davidpactol]

Here's what people with outstanding student loan debt needs to do....pay back YOUR loan in accordance with the terms of the contract YOU willfully agreed to and signed. I pay mine.

[julieknotts]

There not the legislative branch. They don't have that authority hence why it's in front of the Supreme Court

[jameshanna]

I'm confident I'll never pay for anyone's student loans!

[charlesrandall]

how about instead of giving money just lower the interest rates from 8 percent down to 4 percent and this will help students now and in the future 😀otherwise we will end up in the same situation a few years from now ( rinse and repeat) why do we have such an incompetent government?

[arnragnarson]

Because they don't care, the votes are in he doesn't need to come through with what he said before the election anymore

[jimmyallen]

I'm confident that she can't tell the truth and no idea what she is talking about

[donaldselfridge]

I was confident in my Merit that I was going to be a billionaire but s*** happens what a joke is confident nine-tenths of the law anymore

[donforeman]

The female using sign language makes much more sense to me than KJP and I don't understand sign language.
