“To some degree it’s always a little bit of reading the tea leaves, but I thought I the questions the justices asked were very positive. The justices focused pretty pretty heavily on the merits, in terms of where [in the HEROES Act] did Congress give the Department of Education the ability to have a $500 billion student loan discharge,” Hilgers said.
