saying they are unavoidably employed race in a negative manner and involved racial stereotyping. roberts adding a student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual, not on the basis of race. the court also held that some individual consideration of the racial background of an applicant is still lawful. chief justice roberts riding that colleges can consider race on an applicant's essay for example if it's about how race affected his or her life, but that such consideration must be tied to that student's unique ability. in a blistering dissent joined by the other 2 liberals, justice sonia sotomayor condemned the majority support the superficial bull of color blindness." she declared the devastating impact of this decision cannot be overstated, ignoring racial inequality will not make it disappear. the court's only black woman,

justice ketanji brown jackson offered her own forceful dissent riding with let them eat cake obliviousness, today the majority pulls the report and another color brightness by all but legal. but deeming rate is irrelevant in law does not make it so in life. outside the court, a couple hundred gathered in protest and in support of the decision. most americans have said they would back it. a pullback last for finding 63% to colleges shouldn't consider race in admissions, including majorities of white, hispanic, and asian and pacific islander american spirit >> they just ket on thinking about what does this mean for the future. >> reporter: across the country, students and schools are not thrown into a certainty left wondering what this means your application is this former college campuses in the future generation of black and brown students. i know just from looking at thes will see less black and latino students and that's what i'm scared of because many students

who looked like me already don't make up parts of these. >> we judge people based not on the color of their skin but by what they do, who they are, their character, their achievements and i think that in the college admissions process. >> report>> reporter: presidentn announcing his administration is looking for new ways to ensure opportunity for minority students and continued diversity on campus, directing the department of education to study the issue and condemning the court's conservative majority and its march to the right thing "this is not a normal court." that light was an extraordinarily harsh, extraordinarily personal criticism by a sitting president of the justices of the supreme court. presidents criticize court decisions but the justices themselves officially been out-of-bounds. in an interview, but in explaining the perimeter that was that he believes this is a quote form willing to overturn long-stlong-standing precedentse adds "it's value system is different."

let's go to our senior congressional correspondent rachel scott was done in as. strong reaction on all sides this morning. >> reporter: exactly. president biden is making it clear that he is deeply disappointed with the supreme court's decision, calling for a new standard in the college admissions process that takes into account the adversity that a student has had to overcome. there is a deep divide within washington and across the aisle. the front-runner for the republican party, former president on a told "abc news" it was a great day for america. his aides and was good. even republican candidates that are made overcoming adversity a central part of the campaign message also say that they do support this ruling from the supreme court. u.n. ambassador nikki haley who introduces some of the campaign trail as a child of immigrants saying that this decision ensures that every student regardless of background on which the american dream and that preys rippling throughout

college admission practices that do lead to student diversity because we know an environment where we have learned from different background is a rich learning environment. because the courts that you can still mention race in your college essay, they didn't ban that but they were pretty clear that you can't get around this by using the back door like givg more weight to application essays are other factors for students at the right now are to do, what do you say to them? >> to the students and their families, my message is very clear. we need you. we need to in our higher education institutions. we are going to make sure we make the process one but it's clear for you. continue to apply, continue to shine and we agreed to make sure that we follow a process that is unlawful but that provides opportunities for students from all different backgrounds to be seen and valued for the assets and experiences that they bring to the table. >> after all is said and done, what you anticipate the impact

will be on minority enrollment at the selective universities? >> we are going to be working very hard t to make sure we mitigate some of the potential impact. we know that in 1996 in california and affirmative action was struck down, and some of those universities, the number of black and latino students permitted 50% so we want to prevent that from happening nationwide. we are going to go to develop best practices from across the country and we are going to do that with the intention to make sure that we continue to welcome and embrace diversity in our college campuses. >> we are also waiting on another big decision from the supreme court on student debt forgiveness. is there a plan if the court stops the program from going forward? >> as you know, today, we are expecting a decision and we look forward to a positive decision. we feel very confident in our case moving forward and since day one, we've been focused on making sure we are providing access to higher education,

affordable access, and addressing some of the skyrocketing costs of higher education. we are fixing a broken system. i'm confident in today's decision and i look forward to moving forward once the decision is made to become secretary cardona, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >figure five is a whopping third night of protest after the delhi police shooting of a teenager in france. tom soufi burridge has the latest from paris. >> reporter: we are in a presidential area just north of paris. i have a at this. you can say how badly damaged it is from an arson attack. violence erupted this week across france after the tenth of a french teenager of north african descent who was shot dead by police officers on tuesday morning. last night was the third at worst night of violence so far. 600 people arrested. more than 200 police officers on duty at the 17 year old was shot by police. it's claimed he initially failed

millions of americans across the country. we do begin here with the justices are striking down president biden's controversial student debt relief plan that would forgive student debts for more than 43 million americans at a cost of $400 billion. two lawsuits challenge the legality of that plan. let's go ahead and bring in abcs senior national correspondent, terry moran. break down. a lot of this has to do with the biden administration overstepping its authority. >> reporter: this is a huge case. 43 million people were eligible for up to $10,000 of debt relief under this program. the supreme court strikes that down. because it sets the president biden at the secretary of education exceeded the authority that the law passed by congress gave the pivot what the administration had tried to do was pay for modify the terms of the loans, forgiving the debt altogether. but the supreme court says here, that is beyond the power of the

president. only congress can with that much debt, $400 billion. it is such a large amount in such a sweeping assertion of presidential authority to modify the terms of the loans that way. that it exceeds presidential power, that biden acted beyond his powers in this opinion. the good thing saying chief justice john roberts writing for the six conservatives on this court saying that the administration had asserted the authority to cancel $430 million. it does not have the authority to do that is what the coaches. that is a major question for congress to answer. this is a blow to all of those people across the country who were hoping that the patent plan that had been announced last year to forgive the debt would be approved by the supreme court. it's not the only place that the court says that can be done is congress passing a law to

forgive that much debt. >> thank you and stay with us here. let's bring in devin dwyer because just for a little bit more clarity, there were two separate cases that they were a couple people who brought a case forward and it had to do with fairness but at the end of the day, it was the rights of the states. those states that challenged this, they are the ones who prevail. >> reporter: six republican-led states brought the challenge to the biden student debt relief plan. it's a significant sub headline here. the court offering the ability of misery and others took to the biden administration to block the spread on a rather tenuous basis. the court today saying that because the nation's largest student loan service is based in missouri, it has ties to missouri, effectively it gave missouri what's called standing, the ability to bring this case. the service would have suffered significant losses if the biden administration erased all the sleuths of the court said it would be impacted, missouri

would be impacted. the bottom line in all of this, students with all that debt on their hands, federal student loan debt, will soon have to begin repaying those loans. there's been a moratorium on federal student loans for the last three years. their ministrations of those payments will receive this fall but good use for critics of thi. and those concerned taxpayers who were worried about the pricetag of this proposal. >> a real rollercoaster for the students out there hoping to get some relief. let's bring our abc news contributor. part of the problem for the administration was the scope and scale of this plan. >> reporter: it is undeniably a very large plan and program. the administration defended that size and scope are basically saying congress passed a statute giving the administration, the secretary of education in particular, the power to waive or modify the provisions of student loans in the face of a national emergency. justice elena kagan writing the

dissenting opinion for herself in the two other democratic appointees, basically that congress gave the administration this power at the court should not second guess based on its vision of what fairness looks like or how much belief is too much, much. congressional judgment to give agencies that power in the way the agency exercised that power. it's been a debate about the role of the court and second-guessing policy judgments by both congress and by administration agencies. >> thank you. let's bring in mary bruce, our chief white house correspondent joining me in the studio in new york. this is a huge loss for the biden administration. how are they will respond in? >> reporter: this is a major campaign pledge he made and was hoping to be able to fulfill. a source of the divide us tell me they strongly disagree with the court's decision. the question is what comes next. this might have has been very hesitant to discuss any plan b. they thought clearly that this court decision was made to be the best shot at fulfilling the promise but the white house is telling me that the president is

going to come out and speak on this later today and he is prepared for this scenario, that he will be announcing new steps. the question is how sweeping steps to be because there's only so much that the president himself can do. there are some possibilities. the president can -- i suspect you'll hear him discuss his other student debt relief plan. this is a plan he already put up several months ago. it's an encounter with repayment plan that would cap the amount of federal student loan borrower has to prepare to 5% of the discretionary income down from 10%. it is also possible that he could try to next some kind of grace period. they are set to begin in october based on that deal that was agreed to a couple months ago. the question is can he give people more breathing room? it would just take this down the road. the president is going to make it very clear that republicans are to blame for thes. is going to try to pin this squarely on them. >> a message he hopes to take to the people. only so much he can do legally moving forward. thank you so much. we do what pivot now to the

other big role in that regard this morning and it down. this is the on free speech case involving a familiar challenge here. the question whether businesses can refuse service to lgbtq customers because doing so would violate the business owner's first amendment rights. this was a 6-3 decision. the supreme court rules for a christian web designer who objected to making wedding websites for same-sex couples and we are going to go back to devin dwyer on this one because we were seen cases like this before the court but this one, much more sweeping and abroad. >> a significant and sweeping decision and surprising many of us who have covered the court on this issue for some time. the first amendment prohibits the government from forcing any of us from seeing anything we don't want to say. at the center countries in the businesses that are open the public have to serve everybody. what the courts today is that businesses in some cases can

refuse to serve certain customers if doing so would force them to say something they don't want to say it like a business designs websites, a station or maybe even someone who is a landscaping your yard, that is an expressive, customized, and tailored service, neil gorsuch said the government cannot force you to do that business with someone that you don't want to do business with something you don't want to say. justice sonia sotomayor who was in the dissent with the three liberal justices that this is the first time in history in her words that the supreme court has granted a right to businesses open to the public to refuse to serve a member of a protected class. she says this decision threatens to bulk in the marketplace and even interview could allow some businesses to refuse to serve interracial couples simply because doing so would force the business owner to say something they didn't want to say. a striking and sweeping opinion of justice neil gorsuch didn't articulate the limiting principle, if you will, for this

decision. it's certainly going to invite much more litigation down the line. >> as you mentioned, the lack of limits is that spelled out or not spell out your raises a lot of questions going forward. it is worth noting that what sonia sotomayor said in her view this allows the web designer to refuse to serve interracial couples if such a designer opposed interracial marriage. again, raising a lot of questions here going forward. let's bring back kate shaw. legally, but does this mean for businesses and customers? >> reporter: this bill is an enormous change. justice sotomayor is quite right in her dissent. the public accommodation laws have a lengthy historical pedigree, part of our federal laws for over 70 years and in most states and localities, there are signal loss. this if you are a business that you provide goods and services to the public, you can't discriminate and in recent years, destination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender

identity has been permitted in many cases including colorado and until now, the supreme court has never said that one of those laws violates the first amendment rights of a business or business owner who wishes to refuse service to some category of customers. i do think that permit devin is right. the ability of customers to receive services on a nondiscriminatory basis. in the public square. it's not something the supreme court has ever said as long as we have had public accommodation laws, there have been a objections and the court has never sided with this. it's with these laws are so this is a very significant and revenue record set forth today. >> thank you. want to bring back mary bruce because we have two losses as they could be perceived for president biden. only so much you can do. again, a message that he would

take to the voters. >> reporter: we haven't heard yet from the president in response to this case. i suspect he will speak out forcefully. joe biden is someone who has spoken out passionately about how everyone deserves to be treated equally with dignity and respect no matter who you love. the administration has already passed new federal protections for same-sex couples, the respect for marriage act. he let a real national political transformation on the issue of same-sex marriage coming out in 2012, surprising many with his support for same-sex marriage. it was a watershed moment in this country, forcing president obama to come out and do the same. it is an issue with this administration. the patent happiness and network to mobilize voters, drive them to the polls. it's been back terry moran because we had affirmative action yesterday. we have these cases today. this is another defining moment for the supreme court. it's a conservative majority. >> reporter: it sure is and you see how much elections matter. since these three justices appointed by donald trump have

taken the bench, you see how fast and far to the court can go. abortion rights, gun. affirmative action, gone. today, a traditional understanding of public accommodation that if you hold out your business as a public business operative all, you must serve all. the court limiting that today on the basis of free speech rights and there's more to come. this is clearly a supreme court with a bit between its teeth with a conservative majority not just in charge but will eager to reach out and accomplish goals that the conservative movement has had for decades. we are seeing the impact in law and in life in this country and they aren't done yet by a long shot. >> two more major decisions as the supreme court. terry moran in our entire team, thank you. our coverage continues on "abc news" live and abcnews.com. i'll be back here with the tape for world news tonight. i'm whit johnson from new york. have a great night to speak of this has been a special report from bbc news.
