HeroicCrono 05/06/23 12:34:15 AM #141:	Also the 14th Amendment argument is ridiculous. Saying that public debt is valid doesn't authorize the President to borrow illegally in contravention of a law in force. It means you can't retroactively declare public debts invalid. Also, a debt being valid doesn't authorize you to borrow more to repay it. No more than anyone can excuse stealing by saying that they have a valid debt to pay. --- This is Red Sox 777 on a mobile phone. <cite>HeroicCrono posted [p:973292837] in Politics C...
