The Supreme Court relied in part on the legal rule known as the"major questions doctrine" to thwart President Joe Biden's $430 billion student loan forgiveness plan.
"Under that doctrine, the basic idea is that if the executive branch does something the court considers really big and really new, then the court will look to see if Congress really authorized it. Absent clear congressional authority, the court will strike it down," Feldman wrote. Roberts emphasized in his opinion that he didn't think the major questions doctrine was necessary to reach the result of the majority opinion, a point that Justice Amy Coney Barrett touched on in her concurrence.
Thomas Berry, a research fellow at the Cato Institute, told the Washington Examiner that the incorporation of the major questions doctrine in the majority opinion is the"real point of dispute between the majority and the dissenting opinion." The high court has for years been slowly clawing back agency authority based on vague statutory interpretations of federal law, especially since former President Donald Trump cemented the 6-3 Republican-appointed majority in 2020.
