In a brief order, the high court kept the program's implementation on pause. That means Biden will continue to be blocked from implementing loan forgiveness at least until the Supreme Court rules next year. The court said it would hear arguments in February.

Six conservative states – Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Carolina – told the Supreme Court that Biden overstepped his legal authority with the program and violated the constitutional principle of separation of powers by embarking on a loan forgiveness program estimated to affect 40 million Americans.

Why can't thay deside any case thay had to look at it now every branch of gov. Crooked

As of today there are multiple lying justices sitting on the Court that need to be cleaned up first..

It’s a transfer, not a forgiveness. No free lunches.

Should be a short meeting. Unconstitutional AF.
