Supreme Court weighs fate of Biden's student loan forgiveness plan

Feb. 28, 2023, 12:00 PM UTCWASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday will consider whether to strike down President Joe Biden's student loan debt relief plan, the type of expansive use of presidential power about which the conservative majority has often expressed skepticism.

The court is hearing two cases, one brought by six states, including Missouri, and the other brought by two people, Myra Brown and Alexander Taylor, who hold student loan debt. Supporters of Biden's plan are expected to rally outside the court ahead of the oral arguments.and originally scheduled to take effect last fall — violates the Constitution and federal law, partly because it circumvents Congress, which they said has the sole power to create laws related to student loan forgiveness.

Pay your own debt

US Supreme Court to determine Constitutionality of Biden’s student loan debt relief plan” would have been better wording for your headline.

Down with it! I had to pay mine, you too. NothingIsFree

The taxpayers will not pay for the snowflakes student loan debt

Strike it down. You signed the contract. The average debt is less than 30k. Pay up. Grow up.

1)..a student loan of $28,000 paid over 20 yrs with zero interest is around $120/mth.. So:: no need to erase the loans....just set interest rate = 0% 2)..need to reduce yrly cost of college.

Big day. Big decision. Fingers crossed.

If we can give 5 billion dollars to Ukraine then we can cancel student debt.

The Mercers , the Koch’s and the US Chamber of Commerce are using their millions to fight canceling student debt

When Joe Biden wasted billions of dollars in Ukraine the supreme didn’t weighing but to help needy Americans it’s a problem. Very hypocritically.

Today’s right wing SCOTUS will inevitably come down on the side of the avaricious student loan sharks

It’s unconstitutional

I dont know what the big problem is. The government just prints all this make believe money and throws it around for free to every other nation. Why shouldnt some stay in the United States?

Not for numbnuts to decide...

Lmao…but they have no problems with Trump’s tax cuts for the big corporations. 😏 It’s all about erasing any help the struggling middle class or working class can get. 🤦🏻‍♀️

They probably will since the POTUS doesn't have the legal authority to do this. Congress has to pass a specific law.

It’s not Biden’s Plan….. The law in question was legislated over 20 years ago. The Patriot Act clearly gives SecEd the authority to forgive student loans. Our SCOTUS will confirm the law

Pay your debt

Strike down MTG $187,000 PPE loan. Make her pay it back

Perhaps President's shouldn't legislate laws. Its almost like there is another elected body of Government that is designed to legislate. I wonder who that could be? Hmmm ...
