As oral arguments commence, many speculate a SCOTUS ruling against Biden's student debt relief plan. 'We blocked that effort,' Chief Justice John Roberts noted today of a Trump-era policy that SCOTUS ruled was not in the limits of executive power.
During Supreme Court oral arguments over the Biden administration's $400 billion student debt relief plan, Chief Justice John Roberts referred to the Trump administration"acting on its own" to cancel the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, saying,"We blocked that effort" in 2020.
"The case reminds me of the one we had a few years ago under a different administration, where the administration tried acting on its own to cancel the DREAMers program ... and we blocked that effort," said Roberts, speaking to Justice Department Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who is defending the loan forgiveness plan.
Under the doctrine, if an agency works in a way that could have major political or economic implications, it must request the authority of Congress. The six Republican states challenging the plan are arguing the college debt relief plan is too massive for the Biden administration to use the authority in debt relief implementation.
“The secretary acted within the heartland of his authority and in line with the central purpose of the HEROES Act in providing that relief here," Prelogar said."To apply the major questions doctrine to override that clear text will deny borrowers critical relief that Congress authorized and the secretary deemed essential."
