SCOTUS kills Biden plan to forgive student loan debt
The decision represents a significant loss for students and families who were counting on the relief. Biden's proposal would have forgiven up to $20,000 for some borrowers. The White Houseand administration aides repeatedly declined to answer questions about next steps while the case was pending.
"It has become a disturbing feature of some recent opinions to criticize the decisions with which they disagree as going beyond the proper role of the judiciary," Roberts wrote."We do not mistake this plainly heartfelt disagreement for disparagement. It is important that the public not be misled either. Any such misperception would be harmful to this institution and our country.
The ruling involves the University of North Carolina and Harvard, who use race in their application process.The frequency of unanimous opinions doesn’t mean the term has been free from tension. There have been notable instances of the justices sniping at each other’s arguments, including in the major affirmative action case this week.
