One of my favorite quotes comes from the 2000 political drama "The Contender." In it, the vice presidential nominee, Laine Hanson, explains her refusal to neither confirm nor deny the sexist smear campaign against her with one sentence: "Principles only mean something if you stick by them when they're inconvenient." Twenty-three years later, I find myself thinking about that line in the context of the U.S. Supreme Court. And, when it comes to student loan forgiveness, the members of the court could learn a thing or two from the scriptwriters in Hollywood.
