A union representing over 75,000 federal government employees on Monday filed a lawsuit against President Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen over the debt limit, seeking an injunction preventing the government from defaulting on its debts and thus preemptive relief from furloughs and layoffs that would obviously result from such a clusterfuck, Huffington Post reports.
Upon being served with the lawsuit, Biden and Yellen did not scream “Oh my God, please don’t sue us and get a court to unilaterally abolish the federal debt ceiling, we were so looking forward to haggling with Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell because those guys are such honest brokers who don’t have any ulterior motives in trying to collapse the national economy in order to help get that fat orange fuck reelected next year,” but we would have to imagine that they didn’t.
