You can be quite confident that if a Republican president had enacted the same policy, the same R justices would have upheld it as entirely within executive authority.
And that's the mess of this court in a nutshell.

Remember when TFG (aka the Orange Stain) diverted federal money appropriated by Congress for other purposes for his "wall," under a ludicrously strained reading of federal law?
The court upheld that. They wouldn't have if a D had done the same thing. Just as the court would have upheld an identical debt forgiveness from TFG if he'd done it (unlikely though that is - just imagine he decided to try to buy youth votes).
