The Justice Department has officially asked the Supreme Court to lift the 8th Circuit's nationwide injunction against Biden's student debt relief plan. Read the filing here: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23313980/22a444.pdf

The Justice Department is specifically taking aim at the scope of the 8th Circuit's injunction, which applied nationwide. Says the court had no power to impose the injunction on behalf of states that didn't sue and don't even have standing.

Via @mjs_DC, here's the Biden Administration's emergency application asking #SCOTUS to vacate the emergency nationwide injunction issued by the Eighth Circuit (and asking the Court, in the alternative, to take up the entire case on an expedited basis):

1. Yay. Hopeful, but don't trust our judicial system to

Do the right thing. And either no one has responded to this or all the “pay yer bills” folks here that I’ve blocked have responded and I thankfully can’t see them.

I want everyone with usurious loans to get some relief.
