GOP lawmakers filed briefs at the Supreme Court, asking the justices to block Biden's historic student loan forgiveness plan.
More than half of House Republicans, or 128 congressmembers, also filed a brief with the country's highest court, making a similar argument. They say that "petitioners' assertion of power to forgive every
federal student loan in the country, potentially even a decade after the Covid-19 pandemic ends, raises significant separation of powers concerns." The briefs were filed this month, as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments, scheduled for Feb. 28, on the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan.
In response to request for comment, a Biden administration official said that "the only thing notable about this brief is that, if these Republican lawmakers get their way, millions of their own constituents will be denied debt relief."Looking at the briefs filed with the Supreme Court so far over President Joe Biden's plan
for tens of millions of Americans, it's clear that this is a highly partisan issue, said higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz.GOP-led states and conservative groups have brought at least six lawsuits against the sweeping loan forgiveness policy, and the Supreme Court has agreed to take two of those cases.
