THE SUPREME COURT COULD BLOCK DEBT RELIEF FOR 40 MILLION AMERICANS

President Biden’s student debt relief plan could help more than 40 million Americans qualify for up to $20,000 in student debt forgiveness. But in two closely related cases, Biden v. Nebraska and Department of Education v. Brown, the Supreme Court may side with Republican-led states and two individual borrowers to permanently block the plan from going into effect — despite the fact that the parties challenging the plan likely do not have standing. An adverse ruling would hurt tens of millions of Americans and disproportionately burden Black borrowers and borrowers of color while opening the floodgates to future challenges to the Biden administration’s policies. The case is the latest example of the Court inventing new doctrines to ensure conservative policy outcomes.

Take Back the Court raises awareness about the urgent need to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court to address the theft of the court by Senator Mitch McConnell during the Obama Administration. Without adding seats, Congress will not be able to restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, or pass new legislation. Court expansion, which can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment, is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy.
