The latest emergency appeal from the Biden administration means there are now two separate cases on the loan forgiveness plan at the Supreme Court.
The lawsuit was filed by the conservative-leaning Job Creators Network Foundation, which describes itself as"a nonpartisan organization founded by entrepreneurs who believe the best defense against bad government policies is a well-informed public." U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman ruled Nov. 10 that the debt relief effort violated the law and he blocked its implementation nationwide.
The Supreme Court has already agreed to hear arguments in a case from the St. Louis-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit Biden created the debt relief plan under the HEROES Act, which was passed after 9/11 sparked an American-led military campaign against terrorism. The act gave the administration authority to forgive student loan debt in association with military operations or national emergencies.
Under the president's plan, borrowers would be eligible for up to $10,000 or $20,000 in debt relief, depending on their income and whether they received a Pell Grant in college. Borrowers must earn less than $125,000 a year or reside in households that make no more than $250,000. As many as 40 million people would qualify for Biden's plan, and some would see their entire balance erased.
