BREAKING: The Supreme Court said Thursday it will take up a court fight between the Biden administration and a coalition of six Republican-led states challenging the legality of the president's student loan forgiveness program.

on federal student loan payments until June 30, 2023, to give the court time to consider the dispute.

"The Eighth Circuit's erroneous injunction leaves millions of economically vulnerable borrowers in limbo, uncertain about the size of their debt and unable to make financial decisions with an accurate understanding of their future repayment obligations," Prelogar, the solicitor general, told the Supreme Court in a filing.

The Missouri court dismissed the suit for lack of legal standing, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit "On the merits, the plan falls squarely within the plain text of the secretary's statutory authority," Prelogar told the court."Indeed, the entire purpose of the HEROES Act is to authorize the secretary to grant student-loan-related relief to at-risk borrowers because of a national emergency — precisely what the secretary did here."

Was wondering when SCOTUS was going to cornhole us again.

Because Republicans prefer their voters to resent government, and pretend they fight for the working class, not the educated elites. That's scorn.

It’s better for all over time. At least In My book. I hope Biden wins. why do we as a country have such crippling debt for so many, and have such a WIDE area of homeless population. We are NOT the greatest country on Earth if we have that mentality.

We bail out airline,car and banking industries.We give loan forgiveness during COVID to small and large businesses. But it is illegal to help struggling working people. Keeps us in our place I guess

WCCO Money to the people or more corporate welfare? That's a difficult one.

Nancy Pelosi said from the start Biden did t have authority to do this and it was illegal. He knew it. It was a fake promise from the start.

injustice system says the billionaires can declare bankruptcy while keeping billions while homeless people lose their children to the state because they cannot pay back student loans and cannot declare bankruptcy on student loans now you are all dying
