Democrats Need to Get Over Their Pathetic Fear of the Supreme Court

President Biden has suggested he has the power to sidestep the debt ceiling somehow.

Julian Zelizer says the Supreme Court is a de facto super-legislature that rules in favor of its own partisan policy objectives.

Zelizer: A sensible president would not be preemptively conceding the Court’s authority in this area.

The key would be taking a page from the House Republican playbook.

Frida Ghitis: Democrats should be ready to disobey the Supreme Court, should it come to that.

She says FDR was prepared to do this in the Gold Clause Cases, when he ignored the ruling in 1934.

Ghitis says Democrats are going to have to stand up to this lawless court.
