The Supreme Court considered two challenges to the student debt relief plan announced by President Joe Biden in August.
“I believe that the Court’s decision to strike down our student debt relief plan is wrong,” Biden said, according to“But I will stop at nothing to find other ways to deliver relief to hard-working middle-class families. My Administration will continue to work to bring the promise of higher education to every American.”
The HEROES Act, passed after the 9/11 terror attacks, grants the Department of Education the power to waive student loan repayments for those impacted by “a war or other military operation or national emergency.” “The question, the majority maintains, is ‘who has the authority’ to decide whether such a significant action should go forward,” Kagan wrote. “The right answer is the political branches: Congress in broadly authorizing loan relief, the Secretary and the President in using that authority to implement the forgiveness plan. The majority instead says that it is theirs to decide.
“... The hypocrisy of Republican elected officials is stunning. They had no problem with billions in pandemic-related loans to businesses – including hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of dollars for their own businesses. And those loans were forgiven. But when it came to providing relief to millions of hard-working Americans, they did everything in their power to stop it.
