Supreme Court Hears Student Debt Relief Case
--------------------------------------------

Advocates for student debt relief are rallying outside the Supreme Court
today as justices hear arguments in a case that could determine whether
the Biden administration can proceed with a plan to eliminate up to
$20,000 in federal student loan debt for many borrowers. President Biden
announced the plan in August, but it has been held up over legal
challenges.
In other Supreme Court news, justices agreed Monday to hear a case that
could decide the fate of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which
was created by President Obama after the financial crisis.
