WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court’s conservatives signaled deep reservations Tuesday about President Joe Biden’s plan to erase $400 billion in student loan debt, an outcome with sweeping implications for the White House and 40 million borrowers.
For more than three hours, the justices pummeled the lawyer representing the Biden administration with questions about how the administration crafted its plan, whether it was fair to Americans who repaid their loans and why Congress didn’t get a say.
