President Joe Biden vowed Friday to push ahead with a new plan providing student loan relief for millions of borrowers while blaming Republican “hypocrisy” for triggering the day’s Supreme Court decision that wiped out his original effort.

On the one hand: blaming the GOP directly for this is a bit of a stretch. They stacked and influenced the court, true, but I doubt this kind of reversal was specifically something that party leadership wanted on their 2024 bingo card.
On the other hand: getting lit up like this in press releases is just desserts for what happened. Maybe next time the GOP will actually try and reign in red states when dumb no-win lawsuits like this get bandied about. Seriously: what the hell were they even thinking other than “let’s kick this hornet nest and see what happens”?
