Another bogus GOP lawsuit fails

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a second request to block the Biden administration’s student loan debt relief program.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied an emergency application to block the program brought by the Pacific Legal Foundation, a conservative legal group, on behalf of two borrowers in Indiana. On Oct. 20, Barrett rejected a similar request.
Barrett is responsible for such applications issued from cases in the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which includes Indiana.
The decision has little practical effect. For now, student loan forgiveness remains on hold from a challenge brought by six GOP-led states.
Since the White House unveiled its loan relief plan in August to cancel $10,000 for most student loan borrowers, and up to $20,000 for those who received Pell Grants for low-income families, it has faced at least six lawsuits.
