Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argued in Friday’s court filing that the injunction “leaves millions of economically vulnerable borrowers in limbo.”
arguing the president exceeded his authority in allowing the Department of Education to forgive up to $20,000 in federally owned student loan debt held by certain individuals.
The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court to lift an injunction blocking the student loan debt forgiveness program.“The injunction thus frustrates the government’s ability to respond to the harmful economic consequences of a devastating pandemic with the policies it has determined are necessary,” Prelogar added.
Republicans argued that Biden exceeded his authority in allowing the Department of Education to forgive up to $20,000 in federally owned student loan debt.The program is also being contested in the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals after a Texas judge ruled Biden had overstepped his executive authority and usurped Congress’ lawmaking powers by ordering it.
