"Debt Ceiling Deadlock Continues Despite Biden-McCarthy Talks and 14th Amendment Proposal"

Harvard professor Laurence Tribe, who advised President Joe Biden on using the 14th Amendment to end the debt standoff, said he doesn't think there is any litigation to fear and hopes Biden realizes a court challenge is not something to worry about. Tribe's push for the 14th Amendment first got on Biden's radar via a May 7 New York Times op-ed, in which he said the debt ceiling must be ignored in order for the president to execute other laws enacted by Congress. Republicans are opposed to the idea, while Democrats are warm to it but have been skeptical of embracing the escape hatch out of similar concern about a certain court challenge.
