Feds seek to scuttle showdown over 14th Amendment debt powers
In a court filing on Monday, department lawyers cited the Sunday announcements by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of a deal to lift the debt ceiling and argued that the development undercut the urgency of the legal dispute.
The judge’s action followed an unusual Memorial Day holiday filing by the Justice Department that appeared aimed at trying to avoid staking out a clear position on the main legal question in the case: whether the 14th Amendment’s language about the national debt authorizes or even requires the president to keep paying U.S. government financial obligations in the face of a statute that seeks to set a limit on the total debt outstanding.
