    It was slapped down by the court because he was trying to use emergency powers act that did not give him the authority to forgive student debt. And in his opinion, Justice Roberts specified exactly how to go about forgiving student debt. Something that Biden has still yet to do.

      The court did NOT give Biden a way to enact loan forgiveness through executive action alone.

      The court said congress must pass a law. And there is too much opposition to loan forgiveness in congress. Even if the proposed legislation finally got through the senate, the GOP house would block it.
