General Discussion

they do have the power to do so but can the SC compel them to do so? What Constitutional basis? Marbury v Madison is taken to give them the authority for judicial review of laws already passed. It says nothing about actions not yet taken and then compelling that action.

The comparison of the US and an individual debtor is absolutely valid for the purposes that I used it which was to amplify the issue of definition of words about debts and you'll notice that I specifically made note of a major difference between the US and non-governmental debtor when I said that an individual debtor may be instructed by a court to raise the resources, if available, to pay a debt but that is not at all clear for Constitutional authority to order Congress to do so for the reasons I stated. You certainly can compare the two types of debtors for similarities and differences especially with regard to legal implications and powers of the SC under the Constitution and prior rulings. Making comparisons of these things is not equating the two.
