Are there any legal experts who could chime in to help me understand the why of this decision?

If these loans are held by the executive branch, why aren't they allowed to cancel their own loans? Is there really a federal law on the books against this?

Because these conservative judges are in the bag for the GOP and see an opportunity to hurt two groups of people they really hate:

Democrats,
Students.

Edit: IANAL, just really pissed off.
