Teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten’s expression of anger outside of the Supreme Court prompted Twitter users to share their thoughts on the matter.

She delivered a speech outside the court in response to the opposition to the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness plan.

“And frankly, and this is what really pisses me off,” Weingarten said.

She added, “During the pandemic, we understood that small businesses were hurting, and we helped them, and it didn’t go to the Supreme Court to challenge it. Big businesses were hurting, and we helped them, and it didn’t go to the Supreme Court to challenge it.”

Growing more emotional, Weingarten shouted, “All of a sudden, when it’s about our students, they challenge it, the corporations challenge it, the student loan lenders challenge it.”

Weingarten argued, “That is not right, that is not fair, and that is what we are fighting as well when we say cancel student debt.”

Bill Scher, politics editor for the Washington Monthly, replied, “If this is a meltdown, I have 44,000 hours of US Capitol footage I’d like to show you.”

Podcast host Josh Holmes wrote, “I had to hear this so now you do too.”

Radio host John R. Whitmer asked, “Wonder if this has anything to do with the fact the teacher’s unions make BANK off taxpayer funded education…?”

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in challenges to Biden’s plan to forgive more than $400 billion in student debt.

Justice Samuel Alito posed the question of fairness when it comes to the plan considering not everyone can benefit from it.

“Why was it fair to the people who didn’t get arguably comparable relief, not maybe that their interests were outweighed by the interests of those who were benefited or they were somehow less deserving of solicitude,” Alito asked.

U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar explained, “My answer to that question is that Congress has already made the judgment that when there is a national emergency that affects borrowers in this way, the secretary can provide relief.”

As CNN noted, the way and time the justices rule on the case will also determine when student loan payments will resume after they were put on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
