Really interesting reading both sides of this argument, but I do see something missing from the entire conversation (unless someone snuck it in and I missed it):

Independent from the side you take on this, this decision was made by the judicial branch in the context of (hopefully) the constitution. If you disagree with the decision, there's a process (albeit a long one (on purpose)) to change our system, but that process resides in the legislative body, not the judiciary.

I encourage folks from both sides of the argument to keep that in mind.

If Congress had forgiven the debt then we wouldn't be having this discussion. They obviously have the power to do that if they choose.
