The plan authorized $20,000 in relief to Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 in relief to other borrowers who made less than $125,000 a year in 2020 or 2021. In authorizing the forgiveness plan, Biden cited his authority under the 2003 HEROES Act, passed in the wake of 9/11, to “waive” or “modify” student loan debt terms during a national emergency ― in this case, the COVID-19 pandemic.⁠ ⁠ But the court disagreed. Roberts’s opinion declared the debt forgiveness plan to be in violation of the court’s so-called major questions doctrine. This doctrine allows the court to declare an executive branch policy that the court thinks wasn’t authorized by Congress to be unconstitutional if a majority of justices agree that it is too “major” a policy. Its application is highly subjective.⁠ ⁠ Read more at our link in bio. // 📷 Getty Images // 🖊 Paul Blumenthal⁠」7月1日 0時05分
