President Biden’s student loan debt cancellation plan appears to be heading for a Supreme Court showdown.
The Justice Department revealed in a legal filing on Thursday that it plans to ask the Supreme Court to revive the White House’s debt cancellation program that would eliminate as much as $20,000 in debt per borrower.
The Biden administration will ask the high court to reverse an injunction issued earlier in the week by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals that prevented the program from moving forward.
The lawsuit against the debt cancellation plan was brought by six Republican state officials who argue that the debt relief plan is unfair and unconstitutional.
