A Republican-led effort to block one of President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief programs in court has succeeded just days before it was set to go into effect.
Decisions by U.S. District Judges John Ross in Missouri and Daniel Crabtree in Kansas, both appointees of former President Barack Obama, on Monday sided with GOP state attorneys general in thwarting Biden’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, according to Reuters.
The SAVE plan, which was set to go into effect on July 1, was initially announced by Biden in 2022 alongside a since-canceled larger plan that would have erased up to $20,000 in student loan debt for tens of millions of borrowers.
the supreme court literally rewrote an existing law to overturn the original ruling. Like it explicitly says “the debt can be forgiven in a crisis” and was used by the trump admin to halt interest payments the supreme court ruling was literally going “not like this!”. Read the dissent on that case it points out how insane the ruling is.
