...and unilaterally raise the debt ceiling by invoking the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which states, “The validity of the public debt of the United States…shall not be questioned.” …

The question is; while the debt cannot be questioned, what about other more..."discretionary" spending? While we need to be good for our debts, nothing says we need to spend on all the other unconstitutional "benefits/entitlements" that are in place.

This is the woman who invoked that duckspeak of “we have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it” WRT Obamacare. Expecting her to interpret the “validity of public debt” clause of the 14th Amendment correctly is more than a mere stretch, of course . . .

For the ‘Rats, this, like EVERYTHING else they do, is about crisis and agenda, and nothing to do with either the 14th nor the debt nor the debt ceiling. Indeed, if there was no such thing as debt, the ‘Rats would be using some other aspect of government, even if it had to be about pistachio nuts, as long as their agenda was serviced.

The ‘Rat agenda item of destruction of the Constitution, further enlargement of the government, furthering their power is the agenda item here. The debt topic is the crisis.

[oh, and by the way, if the ‘Rats were determined to use ‘pistachio nuts’ to proceed, the enemedia would in an instant help out to make it so]
