WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and more than 40 of his Republican colleagues recently filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States supporting respondents in the dual Supreme Court cases challenging Biden’s student-loan debt relief program, Biden v. Nebraska and Department of Education v. Brown.

The senators argue that Biden’s decision to forgive federal student loan debt in these circumstances constitutes unprecedented executive overreach and defies the separation of powers between Congress and the President. 

“President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is unfair for the millions of people who have worked hard and sacrificed to pay off their student loans. Additionally, hardworking North Carolinians, many of whom do not have student loans themselves, should not have to pay for someone else’s degree,” said Senator Tillis. “Biden’s student-loan debt relief program is a major overreach, and I am proud to join my colleagues on this amicus brief.”
