How in the unearthly flying fuck did the 6 Republican state governors have standing to sue on behalf of a private company that did NOT have the right to sue and had NO demonstrable harm?

Completely vacuous institution, the SCOTUS. They just make shit up at this point.

I'm against student loan forgiveness, but I agree. I don't understand how they have standing. This case should have been thrown out.
