“The Supreme Court on Thursday delayed a decision on whether to grant President Joe Biden’s bid to implement his student loan forgiveness plan, announcing instead that it will hear full oral arguments on an expedited basis,” NBC News reports.
“In a brief order, the court said it would hear arguments in February with a decision soon to follow. In the meantime, the plan remains blocked.”
Wall Street Journal: “The court, in an unsigned order, didn’t act on the administration’s emergency request that it be allowed to move forward with the debt relief immediately. But the justices set arguments on the matter for this winter, agreeing to the White House’s alternative request that the court take up the case now to decide whether the debt forgiveness is a lawful exercise of presidential power.”
