      I was curious to see if this might play out had Biden invoked the 14th amendment to solve the recent debt-limit standoff. Had he done so, chances are it would have eventually gone to the Supreme Court to ‘rule’ whether they liked that or not. But had they ruled against it and the Biden Treasury Department just… kept paying our debt, what would the Supreme Court be able to do? Throw a fit?
