    How do you know?

    For all we know that one person could have convinced another to vote in favour of debt relief. Or perhaps when it became clear the vote was standing 5-4 it would make one of those five decide it’s not clear enough and switch their vote because there wasn’t a strong enough majority to block the executive branch.

    Or perhaps if it was blocked at 5-4 it would give more options for result to be challenged or appealed.

    Lots of things might be different if politicians who say they are for the people actually act in the best interests of the people, even if that means they retire.

      Let’s not pretend that he conservative justices didn’t already know how they were going to rule on this. They just needed to do a little parallel construction before issuing their opinion.
