President Biden’s decision to end the COVID-19 emergency order this week won’t sway his pending Supreme Court case over forgiving millions of student loan borrowers who he claimed needed financial help due to the pandemic, legal experts say.
The president on Monday signed a resolution ending the emergency orders, which were put into place by former President Donald Trump on Jan. 31, 2020.
The high court heard arguments over Mr. Biden’s student debt plans Feb. 28, and a decision is expected by the end of June. Mr. Cardona said the pandemic was so disastrous that it demanded full forgiveness for millions of students. The crux of their complaint is that the president’s move runs afoul of the Constitution and federal law.
“The administration focused on challenging the standing of the parties because it was not eager to have the court reach the merits. There are a number of glaring problems in the use of the Heroes Act for this purpose. The use of the pandemic was only one of the glaring artificialities of the government’s case,” he said.
