The high court announced on Thursday that it would expedite an appeal brought by the Biden administration challenging a lower court\u2019s injunction freezing its loan \u201cforgiveness\u201d program, promising a hearing in February on the issues.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, the Supreme Court will let stand the injunction the Eighth Circuit issued in<em> Nebraska v. Biden<\/em>. That injunction prevents the Biden administration from cancelling student loans of up to $20,000 per borrower, pending resolution of the legal challenge to the debt-forgiveness plan brought by six states: Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Carolina.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In petitioning the Supreme Court for relief, the Biden administration initially sought an order vacating the Eighth Circuit\u2019s injunction, but the administration argued alternatively that, if the high court declined to dissolve the injunction, it should instead hear the case on appeal on an expedited schedule. The Supreme Court\u2019s decision to take the case on appeal presents a unique situation, given that the Eighth Circuit has not yet addressed the merits of the states\u2019 lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Come February then, the Supreme Court will need to decide whether the lower court erred in finding that the states lacked standing to challenge the Biden administration\u2019s cancellation of student loans. The states present an array of arguments for why they had standing, or the legal ability to sue, with Missouri advancing the strongest argument for standing. <\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Missouri maintains loan forgiveness will harm the state because the state, throughout its Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority, or MOHELA, raises funds to support grants and further loans by processing student loans. Fewer student loans to process, because of loan forgiveness, means fewer resources flowing to MOHELA, according to the state, and thus Missouri has standing, they argue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the Supreme Court concludes at least one state has standing to sue, the case can proceed. Then the question will be whether the Biden administration had authority under the HEROES Act to bail out the loans. The HEROES Act is a federal statute Congress passed following the 9\/11 attacks that, among other things, authorized the secretary of education to \u201cwaive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the student assistance programs\u201d when the secretary deems it \u201cnecessary in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because the HEROES Act defines the term \u201cnational emergency\u201d to include \u201ca national emergency declared by the President of the United States,\u201d the Biden administration maintained that its secretary of education can \u201cmodify\u201d the student assistance programs by cancelling the principle of those loans. The states, as well as other plaintiffs who have challenged the loan-cancellation program, counter that canceling student loans is not a \u201cmodification\u201d or \u201cwaiver\u201d of a program and that, in any event, Covid did not cause the debtors\u2019 financial difficulties.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those challenging the Biden administration\u2019s loan bailout also rely on \u201cthe major-questions doctrine,\u201d which teaches that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden might not even care if the Supreme Court strikes his loan forgiveness program.
