Today is the day we should hear definitively; one way or another. It will either help out 43 million Americans, or it will set a new precedent that anyone can sue regardless of being harmed. Should be an interesting day.

As a non american last I heard about this some business owners are suing because they didn't take out any students loans and thus wouldn't be eligible for the forgiveness right?

Does that mean if the SCOTUS sides against the forgiveness then others would be able to sue to get the forgiven business loans to be paid back?
