JB EmmonsBetween the legal posture in the Texas and #8thCircuit cases on the one hand and the legal circumstances on the other, I think it's safe to say that, absent unforeseen developments, the #Biden #StudentLoans #cancellation program in the US is dead and that $10k/$20k forgiveness will not be happening.
Some #litigation I'm watching this week:
*The #8thCircuit *still* has not decided the pending motion for injunction pending appeal in Nebraska v. Biden, the #studentloans case that has put the loan #cancellation program on pause. It's been fully briefed (on an expedited schedule) for two weeks.
* The #Trump response in the expedited #11thCircuit appeal of the #SpecialMaster proceeding is due tomorrow. #DOJ reply due middle of next week.
JB Emmons@jsjoshua I think it adds further reason to doubt Mo.'s IIF argument as to standing. Again, don't have the opinion before me, but IIRC the district court assumed that MOHELA suffers harm but found that any such harms do not accrue to the state. If MOHELA disclaims any relevant comm'ns with Mo. re: the cancellation, that may undermine Mo.'s basis to assert that the assumed harm is occurring even if it could accrue to Mo. At least I'd assume that's why DOJ wants the #8thCircuit to know about it.
"A #studentloans servicer cited in a lawsuit that temporarily blocked President Biden’s debt #forgiveness plan is distancing itself from one of the claims raised by six Republican-led states challenging the program."
This is a BIG deal for the fulcrum standing issue in Nebraska v. #Biden, the lawsuit currently pending before the #8thCircuit - which is also the lawsuit that has put a temporary pause on the whole program.
