President Joe Biden
US President Joe Biden.
  • Protect Democracy, a group formed by Obama lawyers, filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court on student debt.
  • It said that Biden's usage of the HEROES Act of 2003 to cancel student debt is "highly strained."
  • While there might be another route to cancel student debt, the group said this relief is an overuse of emergency powers.

Dozens of conservative groups, liberal organizations, advocates, and scholars have made their opinions known to the nation's highest court on whether President Joe Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan is legal.
