The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments Tuesday pertaining to GOP-led states aiming to block President Biden's student debt forgiveness plan.
When announcing the program last August, Biden said,"When I campaigned for President [in 2020], I made a commitment that we’d provide student debt relief. And I’m honoring that commitment today."
GOP-led states opposing the plan say students struggled with paying off college loans before COVID-19, and the Biden administration is using it to gain political points. Assuming the state and private plaintiffs can overcome that procedural barrier, the key questions could come down to how much discretion the executive branch enjoys to enact unilateral emergency policies in the guise of public health, when that authority ceases and who decides.
The day after arguments in the student debt relief cases, the Supreme Court was scheduled to address anotheradministration policy: Title 42, restricting asylum requests for migrants at the border in the name of public health.
