WASHINGTON — Conservative justices holding the Supreme Court’s majority are skeptically questioning President Joe Biden’s plan to wipe away or reduce student loans held by millions of Americans.
That would allow the court to dismiss the lawsuits at a threshold stage, without ruling on the overall thrust of the loan forgiveness program that appeared to trouble the justices on the court’s right side.Roberts was among the justices who grilled the Biden administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, Elizabeth Prelogar, and suggested that the administration had exceeded its authority with the program.
Kavanaugh, suggested that the administration was using an “old law” to unilaterally implement a debt relief program that Congress had rejected. He said the situation was familiar: “In the wake of Congress not authorizing the action, the executive nonetheless doing a massive new program.”Kavanaugh noted that the administration was citing the national emergency created by the coronavirus pandemic as authority for the debt relief program.
Republican-led states and lawmakers in Congress, as well as conservative legal interests, are lined up against the plan as a clear violation of Biden’s executive authority. Democratic-led states and liberal interest groups are backing the Democratic administration in urging the court to allow the plan to take effect.
“This is the creation of a brand-new program, far beyond what Congress intended,” Nebraska Solicitor General James Campbell said in court Tuesday.
