Immunity doesn't mean that the courts will actually treat the action as valid. Just that Biden wouldn't be prosecuted. A court can turn around and say no, the student debt remains owing It can't unshoot a protester

It also can’t un-drone strike a server the contains debt records, though.

Biden directs the appropriate cabinet secretaries to forgive the loans. Court says no. Biden doesn't care. Promises every government official a pardon for going along with it and helping the scheme. Ultimately, now, what remedy exists?

this is a wildly unimaginative solution, and reinstituting the debt would be unpopular--as well as pragmatically difficult if biden were to dismantle the apparatus: pull out from the collections contracts, and order all records destroyed, and all records in contractors' db's destroyed.

Can a court unshoot the executives of a company who hold student loans, who refuse to nullify the debt?

1) Court's out, so whether they treat an issue as in/valid will have to wait till Biden's 2nd term 2) "You can't unshoot a protestor" is exactly right, so let's take some new steps to ensure that Trump doesn't get the chance

Biden would have to nuke Sallie Mae and all of its servers or something for it to make sense. (Which, for the record, I would be in favor of).

I get why people are eager to find the silver lining here by going "well, can't Biden use this too?" No. He can't. This is literally only useful to help a President get away with committing crimes. What crime do you think it would be helpful for Biden to commit right now?

Defy the courts. Zero out those accounts. Go from there. I don't understand not trying.

You’ve pinpointed what makes the ruling so horrible: it’s really only useful when doing evil/crimes, not when doing good/policy.

I mean you aren't wrong. But couldn't Biden also order the records of the debts be expunged. Like you can't unshoot a protester, but you also can't collect a debt where the records don't exist.
