US Supreme Court refuses to halt a legal settlement that would erase more than $6 billion in debt owed by former students of colleges who have said they were misled by schools

Latest dispute stems from a settlement under which Education Department would automatically cancel debt of nearly 200,000 borrowers who attended 151 schools.

Three of the schools identified in the settlement — for-profit Lincoln Educational Services Corp and American National University Inc as well as nonprofit Everglades College Inc — challenged the agreement after it was approved by a federal judge in California last November. "Today's swift and decisive action from the highest court should end, once and for all, any ongoing debate about the legitimacy of this settlement. The message is clear: the rights of student borrowers will not falter, even in the face of well-funded, overblown political attacks masquerading as a legal argument," Connor told Reuters news agency.

California-based US District Judge William Alsup approved the settlement last year and in February rejected the objections raised by the three colleges.

Legal abortions fell 6% in six months after Supreme Court overturned RoeLegal abortions in the US dropped more than 6% in the six months after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, a testament to the new rules and regulations that now vary from state to state. There were an average of 5,377 fewer abortions per month. That's well over 60 thousand lives saved over a 1 year period... We need to do more but thankful for that at least. That is what happens when you ban stuff. So bans do work.

What can the Supreme Court Dobbs decision tell us about abortion pill challenges?The Supreme Court could be roped back into an abortion dispute due to conflicting rulings in lower courts over the drug mifepristone, nearly a year after a leak paved the way for overturning Roe v. Wade. Who leaked the Dobbs decision. Get to work Roberts. How did the leak “pave the way” for Roe being overturned? That makes literally no sense. If anything it was an attempt to stop the inevitable. And how on earth don’t they know who did it to this day?
