The case has attracted attention from both sides of the aisle. Law professors and Republican senators have filed briefs in the case, and the U.S. Solicitor General will defend the administration’s program at Tuesday’s hearing. The Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona, has argued that the administration has the authority to forgive student loan debt under the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003. The court's conservative supermajority is skeptical of the administration's bold claims of power, and the outcome of the case will determine whether the student loan forgiveness program will be allowed to go forward.
