Debating with myself whether to actually write up the billion and twelve reasons why if the President wants to ignore the debt ceiling he needs to mint the coin, rather than use the 14th amendment, but also ... kinda feel like it will have an interested readership of somewhere between -4 and 0.

@Pwnallthethings It would be safer if sec 4 of the 14th Amendment said:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, 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.

@mattblaze @Pwnallthethings Too verbose—the GOP automatically ignores any text about well-regulated militias.

@SteveBellovin @Pwnallthethings No, "Well-regulated militia" is GOP-constitution-speak for "sudo".
