The Cato Institute and Mackinac Center for Public Policy launched the fresh legal challenge Tuesday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The appeal was filed on their behalf by the New Civil Liberties Alliance.
The legal maneuver is the latest of the many legal woes the Biden administration faces amid its pledges to make student loan relief a political priority. The appeal was filed the same day the Education Department launched into a protracted rulemaking process to discuss targeted ways of erasing loan balances for broad swaths of Americans.
