Justice Amy Comey Barrett may have signaled how the Supreme Court might rule on student-loan forgiveness. In a Thursday ruling, Barrett said Texas did not have standing to sue the federal government on behalf of its citizens. The Supreme Court majority opinion, authored by Barrett, ruled 7-2 that none of Texas' challenges had any merit, upholding the ICWA. He also noted that in addition to proving parens patriae standing, states must also prove they meet the basic requirements of constitutional standing. Still, the states may have a stronger case for standing in the student-debt case than Texas did.
