Obama Doesn't Rule Out Using 14th Amendment To Raise The Debt Limit

“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. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”

The above is the relevant part of the amendment. Obama is proposing to depend on this to resolve the impasse while he steadfastly ignores any other part of the constitution which seems to inconvenience him. He may as well hold a conference and announce that from now on he is to be the unquestioned dictator and his WORD is law regardless of anything to the contrary.

No need to invoke that curse, it is painfully obvious that we do live in interesting times. There are many adjectives to describe what is happening but UNinteresting is NOT one of them.

I think we’re talking past each other. We agree.
