We'll hear argument first this morning in case 2506 Biden versus Nebraska.

Hey everyone, this isn't Leon from Fiasco and Prologue projects. It's Rachel. I produce the show.

On this episode of 5-4, Peter, Rianan and Michael are talking about Biden v Nebraska.

This is one of the infamous student loan cases from the most recent term.

We are following some breaking news out of Washington. The Supreme Court struck down President

Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for millions of Americans.

The case questions whether the Secretary of Education has the authority to provide debt relief

to student loan borrowers. And it's been fraught with problems from the start.

The respondents case for standing is flimsy. The holding overrides the will of Congress

to assert the court's conservative priorities. And as a result, the light that many Americans saw

on their horizon has been snuffed out is their hope for debt relief evaporates.

This is 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks.

Welcome to 5-4, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have weighed down our

nation like student debt weighing down a liberal arts student's finances. I'm Peter, I'm here with

Michael. Hey everybody. And Rianan. Hi, it hits close to home. Sometimes I go on the nose

topical. Maybe a little too on the nose. In this case, today's case is Biden v Nebraska,

probably better known as the student loan case. Yep, just dropped fresh.

Last year, the Biden administration authorized the forgiveness of $10,000 of student debt

for 43 million student loan borrowers $20,000 for a Pell Grant recipients. Yeah.

But the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision, just the end of this term held that the administration

did not have the authority to forgive the loans, thereby functionally reimposing the debt on borrowers.

Yes.
