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.
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.
