Supreme Court strikes down Biden's plan to wipe away $400 billion in student loan debt

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The states did not even rely on any direct injury to themselves, but instead pointed to the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority, a state-created company that services student loans.
54% : Biden was to announce a new set of actions to protect student loan borrowers and would address the court decision later Friday, said a White House official.
51% : Advocacy groups supporting debt cancellation condemned the decision while demanding that Biden find another avenue to fulfill his promise of debt relief.
50% : The majority rejected arguments that a bipartisan 2003 law dealing with student loans, known as the HEROES Act, gave Biden the power he claimed.
46% : In more than three hours of arguments last February, conservative justices voiced their skepticism that the administration had the authority to wipe away or reduce student loans held by millions.
45% : The forgiveness program would have canceled $10,000 in student loan debt for those making less than $125,000 or households with less than $250,000 in income.
34% : Biden had once doubted his own authority to broadly cancel student debt, but announced the program last August.
