I have never had them object to putting student loans in schedule J. It
was including them in the MT that they objected to

I put student loan payments on Schedule J on the same rationale as past due
taxes; if PC converts to Ch13, he still would have to make the payments. No
holiday for student loans! There must have been other circumstances to rile
up the UST.

Presumably your Chapter 7 debtor's budget results in a zero or positive number which further presumes that their is sufficient net income to pay the expenses.
Also presuming you backed out SSI (and other non CMI sources) and using only net business income on Schedule I and no business expenses on Schedule J.
The UST objection would likely come at the point when the total Schedule J expenses (Student loan payments plus all other expenses) are about $3,060; given that the medial income for a one person household in LA is about $49,000 (or $4,085 per month) and income taxes are typically approximately 25% of gross.

In the hypothetical that I yesterday posed -- i.e. above median debtor with large student loans -- is one more likely to have success arguing that student loans constitute a "special circumstance" under 707(b)(2)(B) since student loans cannot be discharged, or that student loans have been incurred for a business and not a household purpose following In re Kelly? Either approach would seem to accomplish the goal of discharging consumer debt, leaving debtor more able to manage her student loan burden.
Any comments are appreciated.

I tried the Special circumstances argument. UST did not go for it at all
and threatened to file a motion. Clients decided to convert.
