My argument holds no water?? It holds the only water it has to; "it's unconstitutional".
I don't see anything but emotions over-flowing in this post. You have made no citations, no legal argument and brought no new material to light.
What about the damage done to one's credit, as you warned earlier? Up to 10 years? That seems quite the punishment. This probable restoration of Constitutional rights does not have the person filing for bankruptcy walking away Scott-free as you keep repeating.
I'm not saying that the rights afforded corporations and everybody else to escape debt, and what happens in the process is alright. No one is. But at least they've had their rights intact.
The bottom line is the US Constitution affords the same rights to EVERYONE under every law. What makes their debt so different than everybody else's debt? What makes students so much different than a retail consumer, or a venture capitalist? The answer: Nothing does. Under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, as US citizens, students are entitled to the same rights everyone else has, even if they are filing for something as ugly as bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a Protection, and they are entitled to all the benefits under it as a Right. That is my opinion and the opinion of other practitioners of Constitutional Law.
