On: Biden administration cancels student loans of more than 150k borrowers

[sarcasmatwork]

So he's going against SCOTUS?

"Supreme Court strikes down Biden student-loan forgiveness program. By a vote of 6-3, the justices ruled that the Biden administration overstepped its authority last year when it announced that it would cancel up to $400 billion in student loans."

How can he do that?

This is technically a different loan forgiveness program, so it would need to go before the court on its own merits.

> How can he do that?

Because the Supreme Court ruled that the executive branch is allowed to cancel student loans, just "not that many all at once".

How many is too many? They didn't say.

They'll know it's too many when the ghosts of the founding fathers get riled up and start throwing sugar packets around the Supreme Court breakroom.
