Yes, the law is stuff that is made up. Yes, granting standing to Missouri in this case is a bit weird. Yes, SCOTUS is not objective, instead it is just people voting with their ideological preferences. Also yes, SCOTUS should be abolished.
That being said, using the HEROES act for student debt relief is incredibly bad, it is almost like you want your law to be struck down. The law doesn't give the president that authority (it just says that any debt forgiveness during the Covid emergency declaration being active is tax-free) and most of HEROES act is only valid during a Covid emergency. The Biden administration specifically went out of their way to declare the Covid emergency officially over months ago.
The Biden administration has a much older law that grants it explicit authority to cancel student debt (Higher Education Act) and they decided to just... not use it. And this is now even more urgent, since the Biden administration officially ends Trump's student debt repayment pause in like 2 months. I'm glad that Biden said that everyone should leave SCOTUS alone and "not politicize the court"... YESTERDAY.

SAD!
I agree, using the HEROES act was baffling. Although I think it did have a provision to forgive debt as well
