On December 12, the Supreme Court took up another case against U.S. President Joe Biden’s $400 billion worth of Student Loan Forgiveness Plan. The decision means this other case will be heard alongside a case they have already agreed to hear in February, says Fritze.

Supreme Court Has The Final Say
The Supreme Court will have the final decision on whether the Student Loan Forgiveness Plan goes into effect even after the lower courts have blocked both cases. The case the Supreme Court would take up involves two students who both hold loan debts, Myra Brown and Alexander Taylor. Both students claimed that the administration had fallen short of following the correct procedure to announce the plan. The Supreme Court declared that it would consider whether Brown and Taylor had the standing to file their lawsuit. And if the Supreme Court finds out they do, it would also consider whether the plan was lawful, as reported by Hurley.
