AOC says there's still hope for Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan if the Supreme Court rules against it
On Wednesday, the New York progressive lawmaker answered questions from followers on her Instagram story, one day after the Supreme Court
When asked if Biden will extend the student-loan payment pause again if the Supreme Court strikes down his debt relief, Ocasio-Cortez wrote that she thinks"the response really depends on the grounds of any potential ruling." Ocasio-Cortez was likely referring to the issue of standing in both of the cases. If the Supreme Court finds that the cases do not have standing — meaning the plaintiff would be injured by the policy, that the injury can be directly traced back to the defendant, and that the relief they're seeking would address those injuries — the court doesn't even have the authority to take on the other questions challenging the case, like whether the relief was an overreach of authority.
