Finally the Democrats are beginning to speak of applying Constitutional law that specifically states:

14th Amendment of the US Constitution.

Section 4.

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.

Is it too little too late?

Lawrence: What if Joe Biden is doing everything right in the debt ceiling negotiations?

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell offers his new theory of why President Biden might be doing everything right on the debt ceiling based on experience, guesswork, and the fact that the White House has the two most experienced negotiators – President Biden and Steve Ricchetti.

Let’s hope not.

Chris Hayes has a good related report, just how serious are Republicans about spending - or is it all about defeating Democrats, torpedos be damned?

# Hayes: What the Republican debt ceiling threat is really about

Chris Hayes: “The Republican calculus is simple: Spend like there’s no tomorrow when you’re in power because it helps you politically. When you’re out of power, do everything possible to stop Democrats from spending in order to hurt them.”
