The U.S. Supreme Court Will Hear Two Cases
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear two cases related to President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel student loan debt for millions of borrowers.
The cases center on how far the executive branch and regulatory agencies can go without direct authorization from Congress.
The Pacific Legal Foundation Filed the First Major Lawsuit
The Pacific Legal Foundation filed the first major lawsuit against the student loan forgiveness plan in September on behalf of several former lawmakers who were instrumental in the passage of the 9/11-era HEROES Act, which Biden has used to justify the loan cancellation.
Biden has acknowledged several times in the past year that the “pandemic is over” and has finally set an end date for the dual COVID emergency declarations.
Biden’s claim that the pandemic hurt student loan borrowers is why the HEROES Act has been used as the basis for his plan.
Biden Framed Opposition to His Giveaway
Biden framed opposition to his giveaway as Republicans being mean, but Republicans and any American concerned with the separation of powers are worried about much more than the plan’s minimum cost of $400 billion for taxpayers.
The Supreme Court has already struck down several similar attempts from Biden officials, such as the continuation of the eviction ban and the mandate to force COVID-19 vaccination or testing requirements on large businesses.
Biden did not mention loan forgiveness in his State of the Union address this month, but the merits of this case are no different from previous cases in which the Supreme Court has pushed back against the Biden administration’s pandemic rationale for why such broad forgiveness is necessary.

Republicans and Any American Concerned with the Separation of Powers
Republicans and any American concerned with the separation of powers are worried about much more than the plan’s minimum cost of $400 billion for taxpayers.

The merits of this case are no different from previous cases in which the Supreme Court has pushed back against the Biden administration’s pandemic rationale for why such broad forgiveness is necessary.
Biden did not mention loan forgiveness in his State of the Union address this month, but the Supreme Court will now decide if the executive branch and regulatory agencies can go beyond Congress’ authorization.
