earlier this week asking the justices to block the Biden administration from implementing its $400 billion effort. Barrett declined the request without referring the matter to the court.
Barrett denied the application without explanation, as is often the case on the court's emergency docket. It's the second time Barrett has done so in as many months. On Oct. 20, she to temporarily block the Biden administration from implementing the program. The reason there are so many different lawsuits is that groups opposed to the program are attempting to find a plaintiff who has standing – in other words, who can demonstrate they are injured by the effort in a way that allows them to challenge it in federal court. The latest filing from Pacific Legal came on behalf of two people entitled to "automatic" cancellation of their debt.
