Publishing timestamp: 2023-02-28 12:26:54
Summary
The Supreme Court began hearing arguments about the student loan debt relief program enacted by the Biden administration. Plaintiffs challenging the plan include a group of Republican state attorneys general who argued that Congress needs to approve such loan waiver. The Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sonia Sotomayor questioned the Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who is defending the program, about the argument by the plaintiffs. Experts have said they expect the high court to overturn the plan if it finds there is standing, because of the presence of six conservatives on the bench.
