Plus there have already been SCOTUS cases where Robert’s majority rewrote legislation to suit their agenda especially regarding labor law. They blocked class-arbitration even when corporations hadn’t put those restrictions in their contract boilerplate. The court behaved like a corporate defense association conference and rewrote everyone’s contracts retroactively for the policy outcome that isn’t in the law at all.
The debt ceiling is not new spending its financial obligations that both parties in the past have already passed and signed off on. If they waned to cut spending they should have not voted for past cost or n the first place.Not raising the debt ceiling is like refusing to pay youre mortgage. >

Which is such a strange issue, considering the 14th amendment states:

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law[...] shall not be questioned. >

So, why doesn't the treasury just operate as if there is no debt ceiling and let someone sue and bring this to the Supreme Court to declare this whole nonsense unconstitutional... is what a naive person might say. An honest person would say because the ideological bat-shit crazy Supreme Court will fuck the country any way they can to put party over country as they always have. >

I believe that is the plan.

Tanking the global economy isn't good, for even the compromised Roberts Court. >

I have no faith they would save us.  The GOP want something, Roberts delivers.  Anyone who repeats the falsehood that the dude is a moderate conservative hasn't been paying attention.
But I like you optimism. >

Roberts doesn't have the ability to add to legislation; he can only reinterpret it in their favor. Even if he somehow convinced the Court to rule that the debt ceiling argument was valid, the time spent awaiting a verdict would cripple the global economy. >

Functionally this is the same thing, the SCOTUS can absolutely say the Constitution obligated such and such thing
