Student-debt relief supporters rallied as the Supreme Court signaled skepticism over its legality. According to Joe Biden's plan the U.S. government would cancel $430 billion in student debt for about 40 million borrowers
Biden's plan fulfilled his 2020 campaign promise to cancel a portion of $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt. Prelogar sought to cast it as "the administration of a benefits program" rather than an assertion of regulatory power not authorized by Congress.
Kavanaugh said Congress in the HEROES Act did not specifically authorize loan cancellation or forgiveness and that Biden's administration pursued a "massive new program."Hundreds of demonstrators including borrowers rallied behind Biden's relief plan outside the court. Biden wrote on Twitter, "The relief is critical to over 40 million Americans as they recover from the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. We're confident it's legal.
Roberts presented Prelogar with a hypothetical scenario involving one person who borrowed to pay for college and another who borrowed to start a lawn-service business.
