Could Biden just fucken pardon everyone of their student debt? I think the Supreme Court ruling says he can.

Pardon their debt? Unlikely.

Pardon any conviction for violating state law for non-repayment? No.

Preemptively pardon any conviction for violating federal law for non-repayment? Yes.

The only problem would be that a pardon doesn’t expunge the conviction. So they would still have to deal with a legal record, which may or may not be a real problem.
