WASHINGTON, D.C.— Congressman Earl Blumenauer released the following statements regarding Supreme Court decisions in which the court ruled on cases pertaining to LGBTQ+ rights and student loan forgiveness.
303 Creative LLC v. Elenis
"The First Amendment was never intended to give the right to discriminate. It is not only disingenuous but shameful to abuse it to perpetuate anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination. Congress must quickly codify the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.” - Congressman Earl Blumenauer
Student Loan Forgiveness
“The skyrocketing cost of tuition leaves higher education out of reach for too many, while saddling millions with decades of debt. It is disappointing the Supreme Court struck down President Biden’s targeted executive action to alleviate this crisis.
“This ruling cannot and will not be the end of our efforts. President Biden should be aggressive in finding an alternative path towards loan forgiveness. Congress must also redouble its efforts to make college more affordable for future students.”
