Supreme Court will rule on major cases dealing with student loans, LGBTQ rights FridayBy Victor Nava

The Supreme Court is expected to issue rulings Friday in major cases related to President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan — and gay rights.
The decisions will come on the last day before the high court’s summer recess.
In Biden v. Nebraska, the court will decide if the president’s controversial executive order to wipe out $400 billion in student loans violates the separation of powers as well as procedures of administrative law.
The case was brought by the attorneys general of six Republican-led states — Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Carolina — and argues it was unconstitutional that Biden, instead of new legislation, used the 2003 Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act to classify debt cancellation as a benefit.
The court will also rule on Department of Education v. Brown, a second legal challenge to Biden’s student loan bailout brought by the conservative Job Creators Network Foundation, which backs a lawsuit filed by two borrowers who didn’t qualify for the program’s full benefits.
