John Fetterman slapped Clarence Thomas with one ugly threat
Democrat Senator John Fetterman has not been back in Washington, D.C. for long but he is already causing trouble. This time it’s too much – even for Fetterman.Democrats like Senator Fetterman can’t stand the thought (is he capable of thinking?) of agreeing to even one nickel in spending cuts so they are now pushing a hairbrained scheme for Joe Biden to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling by executive fiat using Section 4 of the 14th Amendment.
The plain text of Section 4 of the 14th Amendment makes it plainly obvious how absurd this scheme is. [patriotpulse]
A simple reading of the text shows that the government can only incur new debt via an act of Congress. And who is writing this crap for John Fetterman who is really "out of it." Democrats continue to abuse and use their diminished electeds and to promote them as if they are coherent.
Fetterman even went so far as to dare Clarence Thomas and the other conservatives on the Supreme Court to stop Biden by ruling that Biden overstepped his Article II authority to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling and risk economic calamity. And Section 5 states that the Congress shall haved the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of Amendment 14.
Amendment 14, Section 4 reads:
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 neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
