In extended remarks to Campbell, Justice Sonia Sotomayor laid out the practical implications of the case in stark terms.
“There’s 50 million students who are – who will benefit from this. Who today will struggle. Many of them don’t have assets sufficient to bail them out after the pandemic.

-Also, maybe, just maybe, the government shouldn't have created this issue with college in the first place with their guaranteed loans?
