That’s the part that discusses public debt. It’s original purpose was to proclaim the legitimacy of the Union’s war debts, including paper money, and the illegitimacy of the Confederacy’s.

The actual text says: “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 hard to imagine an intern or staffer willfully misinterpreting “The validity of the public debt…shall not be questioned.” as a talking point to get reporters to not ask questions about spending issues?

The Left have decided that if the Right can cite stuff, then they’d better cite stuff too!

San Fran Nan just … didn’t bother to *read* it first. Eleventh Amendment .. *sounds* authoritative… and that’s what matters.
