White House anxiously awaits high court’s student loan ruling

The Biden administration is anxiously awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on its student loan forgiveness plan. The White House argues that the president is acting within the law to forgive an estimated 400-billion dollars in student debt. But opponents say it’s a misuse of executive authority. Debt forgiveness is a major priority for Mr. Biden and he awaits a decision from a high court that he has labeled “not normal.” Conservatives on the bench expressed skepticism during oral arguments in the student loan case, but the high court has handed down some surprising rulings.
