Alito questions ‘fairness’ in student debt relief argument before Supreme Court 

And I’m not sure how fairness is a question…. The question is it legal or not? And if you read the act of Congress that they used to do this, they were completely within their legal rights. This type of action was authorized by Congress. And someone brought up. How is it fair to small businesses like say a lawn care business, well… or PPP loans being forgive fair to W-2 workers??

No one cares about what’s fair until is isn’t fair for them.

It's fair by being unfair. Why is it fair banks get a bail out but the people do not. Why is it fair that employers get 100ks of loans but people only got 2400. Why is it fair that someone qualify for x benefits but others don't.

THIS LADY PRELOGAR KNOWS HER STUFF. SHE SHOULD BE ON THE SUPREME COURT

Why is it fair that rich people get government bailouts all the time?

Why am I paying for social security I will probably never receive? Why should I pay the same property taxes if I don't have kids who go to school? Why did big businesses and big banks get bailed out when they never do that for anyone else? Why shouldn't all Americans be mandated to join the military to buy their right to enjoy freedoms and right to vote just like the men who fought before us that provided that for us today? It's never been fair. We evolve and things change. That's the way its always been.

Every time she makes a valid point in their debates he talks over her.. that's a cheap talk show host trick

Congress gave the secretary of education the power to do this. That’s the question. Not whether or not this is fair. Incompetence at its finest.

The question of fairness is not even relevant regarding the legality of the executive order and the standing and merits of the case. What is going on with SCOTUS? What damages and injuries have the plaintiffs sustained bringing this case before the court? Let’s answer that.

justic your completly right, why was it fair for people to get snap benefits before there was such a a program, why was it fair to bail out wallstreet and the weathy in 2008, why is it fair to give the wealthy tax cuts tax loopholes and why is it fair for political leaders to work for the wealthy. when there mandate is to do right by the people they are meant to serve. Simply put programs have to start out someplace at some time, it is high time we act..... mic drop

Why is it fair that an education costs 4 times as much today?

She is answered the question but he doesn't like it her last answer was spot on

She answered it correctly the first time and he just didn’t like the answer because it was a good one.

She was so patient, logical, and articulate in her responses. It must be very difficult for her not to be condescending in the face of such a dumb question delivered so inelegantly/rudely by a dawdling, old man probably seated in an adult diaper of his own filth. Prelogar is a better woman than I am. I admire her and I hope she is victorious.

Education should be accessible to all Americans, not exactly sure why it’s so expensive to be educated in an alleged superpower country…

I pay more taxes than Donald Trump, how is that fair?

PPP loan……

She checked his azz.... Actually, it is an elementary question by this overly conservative justice.... Taxes are not fair....

Since when judges questions fairness? Where is standing? Where are the injuries?

Something tells me that, one day, Ms Prelogar will be sitting on the Supreme court bench. Would be really nice if she could replace Alito.

Alito's argument is akin to why is it fair to those who were drafted that we stop implementing the draft. It's not fair, in the simple sense that some people won't have had the life benefit of not being drafted. But that doesn't mean that it's not fair to stop the draft. Just as much as many baby boomers have pension and social security, and unfairly, many people younger them have no access to pension and may not have access to social security in the future. By his logic, we should stop social security for current beneficiaries, because future ones may not have access, because it would be unfair to the future beneficiaries compared to the current. It makes no sense. The world changes. Just because you were abused doesn't mean we should abuse future generations.

To whom? To those that came before? Since when do we do policy based on whether or not people did or didn’t get it before? Well that’s the Alito way…folks! 🤷🏻‍♀️

as usual... sneaky liberal lawyah. "why is it fair?"... "it's fair because the Secretary had already decided"... hhahaha... clown.

So… education should have been paid for by taxes or free online 😂😂🎉

Oh please oh please oh please

Hmmmm

Where can I listen to the whole thing?

Alito has dementia…. Happens to most of us.

Why is fairness even a relevant question? Different people have different needs. If you don't have a student loan then you don't need this relief.

I'd like to ask him why he thinks taxes are fair. I feel like he'd answer his own question.

Rich borrowers gonna get a free ride off the backs of everyone else.

why 10k or 20k forgiveness? why not forgive the whole thing if it benefits everyone? Guess what? Someone has to pay for it? It’s not us. it’s our kids, grandkids, grand-grandkids will ask us if it’s fair for them

"Why is it fair?" "Well, it isn't, but we want it anyway."

NO STUDENT RELIEF> why should the average tax prayer pay for other's debt. Can Congress pay my mortgage?
