  Which is to say, there's a 95% chance the Supreme Court rules the debt ceiling is constitutional because it gives Republicans what they want.
context: Per the article, they're going to protect a very limited list of programs, and gut the rest of the government:
  
  A hypothetical proposal that protects Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits and the military would still leave out huge swaths of critical federal expenditures on things such as Medicaid, food safety inspections, border control and air traffic control, to name just a handful of thousands of programs. >
  
  Lol just when we thought we were out of the dark side of American politics we get thrown right back into it. Good luck over there guys. You gonna needs it. Please don’t crash the global economy. >
  
  
  Please don’t crash the global economy.
  
  Unfortunately, there's a decent chance that that's what will end up happening. >
  
  God damnit, I’ve finally got my business killing it again after Covid. Give me at least 12 months of stability please before shit gets fucked again.
  Serious question, is there any way Biden can just force them to not shut down government? >

  I don't believe so. Executive branch doesn't have that kind of power. >
  
  There's an argument that the debt ceiling violates Clause 4 of the 14th Amendment, which states:
  
  The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
  
  But that won't stop the entire economy from burning down while we wait to hear what the Handmaiden, Cola Pubes, and The Boofmeister think about it. >
  
  That would work, assuming the Supreme Court doesn't dig up an obscure law from 1850 as an excuse to rule against eliminating the debt ceiling.
