Biden Lawyer May Have Swayed Justices in SCOTUS Student Loan Case: Experts

The conservative majority on the Supreme Court is said to be deeply skeptical and unlikely to go for the Biden administration’s expansive student debt forgiveness program, but the Tuesday performance of lead government lawyer Elizabeth Prelogar might just have been enough to weaken their resolve, experts told CNBC. “I do think she could have influenced or even changed the thinking of two justices, maybe more,” University of Illinois Chicago law professor Steven Schwinn said.

Watching the solicitor general and her opponents at work was like “the difference between a star quarterback and two tiddlywinks players,” higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz said. Prelogar’s “preparation, poise, and power were impressive,” Kantrowitz added, observing that the administration “now seems more likely than not” to win both cases. But other experts remain unconvinced.

Maybe legally, but the decision will be s political one also it doesn’t matter.
