Biden says he’s not confident Supreme Court will clear student loan forgiveness plan
by Alex Gangitano - 03/01/23 6:29 PM ET

President Biden on Wednesday said he’s not confident that the Supreme Court will decide to clear his student loan forgiveness plan, while the majority-conservative court weighs the case.

“I’m confident we’re on the right side of the law. I’m not confident about the outcome of the decision yet,” the president told reporters at the White House.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday on challenges to his student loan plan, which would eliminate up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for millions of Americans.

Biden and the White House have consistently expressed confidence in the legal authority for the president to implement the plan through executive action. And, the White House this week has shied away from discussing any alternative or a “plan B” if the Supreme Court strikes it down.

“The plan that we put forward in August is the plan that we have, which is also a plan that you heard the solicitor general really defend in a strong and powerful way yesterday. And that’s our plan, and we believe in our legal authority to get that done and get that implemented,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday.

Don't worry, Biden(I mean his handlers) will just try another end run around the law and Constitution. But no matter what the socialists will still consider this a win because they can campaign on how those nasty conservatives are keeping poor people in debt, never mind that the votes they were trying to buy would saddle Americans not responsible for making stupid education decisions with the debt.
