Fate of President JoeBiden’s student debt cancellation rests in hands of the conservative Supreme Court
Biden, who criticized the high court as "more of an advocacy group" than an even-handed institution in response to its decision overturning Roe v. Wade, asked the justices to lift an appeals court order that blocked his plan to relieve up to $20,000 of debt collected from student borrowers. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the administration stands by its belief that the program is legal.
The Supreme Court's decision to set oral arguments came one day after Biden's plan was kept from resuming for a second time by the predominantly conservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which affirmed a federal Texas court's decision to halt the program while litigation continues. Filitti said that lower courts have viewed Biden's plan as an executive overreach and the justices could more narrowly seek to determine"who, if anyone, has a right to sue to block Biden’s action."
“We are confident in our legal authority to carry out the student debt relief program and will be taking this fight to the Supreme Court as well,” said White House spokesman Abdullah Hasan.
