On Tuesday, the #SupremeCourt heard arguments in two separate cases that challenge President Biden’s plan to wipe out more than $400 billion in #student #debt for approximately 40 million Americans.
The two highly watched cases are both quite technical. But in the first argument of the day, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor managed to cut through the legal complexity to handily summarize the problems with the case:
* It ignores the vast #advantages of #generational #wealth when it comes to paying for education and
* the #hardship that borrowers without financial help will face if Biden’s program is cancelled
* and, to top it off, cancellation’s opponents are asking the high court to engage in judicial #overreach to shut off a program that they simply don’t like
