U.S. Supreme Court blocks Biden's student loan forgiveness plan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : The other case, Department of Education v. Brown, centers around whether two student loan borrowers that were denied relief under the program have a legal standing to sue, and whether the Department of Education's plan was properly authorized and adopted.
42% : The Supreme Court struck down President Biden's student loan debt forgiveness plan on Friday, ruling that the Department of Education exceeded its authority in unveiling a plan to cancel $400 billion in federal student loan debt, following two challenges from six Republican states and two student loan borrowers.
26% :Justice Elena Kagan wrote the dissenting opinion in this case, saying that the HEROES Act provides Cardona with broad authority to give emergency relief to student loan borrowers, calling the six state challengers "ideological plaintiffs" with no reason to sue other than officials from those states disliking the plan.
