LOL. Sen. Harkin, you couldn't be more wrong. WE THE PEOPLE are still in charge and you are in our way.
LET'S ROLL!!!!
Try actually reading the 14th Admendment Senator. Any sane judge would laugh in your face if you tried to use this Amendment to justify raising the Debt Limit
In that case Mr. Harkin, tell your buddy Ubama to go for it. Take that step, PLEASE?
I sure HOPE that the conservatives in Congress have the legal briefs all set to go to the Supreme Court with this issue. If the messiah goes for this lie of the 14th Amendment power to usurp Congress, he needs to be slapped down HARD and articles of impeachment prepared. The safety of the republic is at stake like no other times since the the 1860’s.
“I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

WOW! So Obama couyld have avoided this whole crisis all along?? I’ll BE Dawg! ;)
Fake war veterans have nothing to say to anyone about anything.
b.s.
if that were doable,
obama would have already do do it.
He is right, nothing prevents Obama from invoking the 14th amendment, but nothing prevents the market to view new and renewable treasuries as toxic as a result of a very constitutionally questionable action.
If he invokes the 14th Amendment, who is going to even consider buying treasuries without a huge premium?
Good luck with that option.
He should invoke the 14th to take away the 2nd amendment, allow unrestricted abortions, shut down talk radio, and cover the moon with cheese.
It gives him as much right to do those as raise the debt ceiling.
LOL. Sen. Harkin, you couldn't be more wrong. WE THE PEOPLE are still in charge and you are in our way.

Whassat ole Senator Ethanol Dungheap done be sayin’?
The 14th amendment prevents him from using the 14th amendment in the way he wants to.
Of course Harkin’s, the rest of the democrats and several black robed oligarchs in the Judicial Branch know their supporters are ignoramuses.
Hooray for an uniformed voter base; they made a lot of politicians, bureaucrats and contractors wealthy beyond their dreams.
This would solve so many of Republicans problems, it would unite them again and pass all the deficit blame to Obama. Dream on Republicans. (This also shows how stupid these House progressives are wrt to politics.)
Obama has a MUCH better plan: Get Republicans blamed for both the bad economy AND for the increase in the debt limit by forcing them to do it with little or no budget cuts.
Sorry, Harkin - but constitutional scholars say you’re WRONG.
I’d love to see BHO try it, though. What fun we’d have with him :-))))))))))))
Here’s what’s going to happen. The gop elites will get with the dems and pass a “bi-partisan” bill. All the tea partiers will vote against it so they’ll be covered.
It will be kicked down the road and they’ll have their retirements funded for a few more years.
Obama gets re-elected in 2012 and then the destruction of America will almost be complete.
