The Supreme Court&#8217;s recent ruling has effectively dashed Biden&#8217;s hopes of eliminating around $400 billion in student debt. Environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and author Marianne Williamson took turns bashing Biden&#8217;s efforts and offered their own solutions as presidential candidates.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s Critique<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The unfortunate SCOTUS ruling striking down President Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ocasio-cortez-fires-back-after-biden-rejects-proposal-to-cancel-50k-in-student-loan-debt\/\" title=\"Ocasio-Cortez Fires Back After Biden Rejects Proposal To Cancel K In Student Loan Debt\">student loan forgiveness program<\/a> was the predictable result of Biden&#8217;s failure to bring Congress together on this issue of crucial importance to young Americans,&#8221; Kennedy tweeted on Friday. &#8220;President Biden knew his plan wouldn&#8217;t survive a legal challenge. His plan gave the appearance of action, while accomplishing nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy promised &#8220;to pressure Congress&#8221; to legislate more funding into education, going so far as to suggest that &#8220;a fraction of our military budget&#8221; go to forgiving student loans. He compared the proposed allotment toward student loans to funding &#8220;infrastructure and [the] environment&#8221; because &#8220;it is an investment in America&#8217;s future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Marianne Williamson&#8217;s Critique<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s SCOTUS works to proactively diminish the rights and opportunities of the people of the United States. (Biden can get around this, by the way,),&#8221; Williamson tweeted. &#8220;As President, I will expand the Court if necessary. Nothing in the Constitution says it&#8217;s limited to 9 justices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Williamson also shared Sen. Bernie Sanders&#8217;s (I-VT) idea that Biden utilize the authority under the Higher Education Act of 1965 to cancel debt, calling it &#8220;the right idea.&#8221; Biden subsequently made a statement Friday promising that certain loans would be released via this method.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All the Republican-nominated justices ruled against the president in Biden v. Nebraska, in which six Republican-led states alleged he exceeded his legal authority when he attempted to cancel up to $20,000 in debt for those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-2024-hopefuls-hail-supreme-court-ruling-on-student-loans\/\" title=\"GOP 2024 contenders celebrate SCOTUS decision on student debt.\">holding federal student loans<\/a>.
