A federal judge who first blocked broad student-loan forgiveness just gave Biden a win by agreeing to pass on a case challenging a debt relief rule
reported
Notably, Pittman was the first judge to block Biden's broad plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for federal borrowers, and Biden's Justice Department argued the CSST lawsuit was improperly filed in Pittman's court, as the institutions mentioned in the suit are not based in his district. "Put simply, if a plaintiff cannot defend its choice of venue, the case does not belong there in the first place," Pittman wrote in his opinion.
"The apparent goals of this new framework are to accomplish massive loan forgiveness for borrowers and to reallocate the correspondingly massive financial liability to institutions of higher education," it said."The Final Rule will cause financial and reputational harm to schools, educational harm to students, and budgetary harm to the public."
