Its becoming rapidly apparent that Senate and House Democrats are fully willing to rip up the Constitution completely and impose a one party state by giving Obama carte blanche. The democrats never stand up to their own, but were willing to take all the help they could get when bringing down Nixon. James Baker was more Democrat than Republican.
None of this could happen without the help of some powerful Republicans. Mark my words the Supreme Court will issue some very bad decisions soon.

Good catch! I should have written “authors” instead of founders.

Bad for whom? Us or the Dems? If you say bad for us, I am afraid you might be right. Everyone seems to be convinced that the Supremes are going to trash Obamacare and the Arizona law — I’m less convinced.
I think the Arizona law may survive, but my gut feeling on Obamacare is that they are not going to strike down the mandate. I am not sure how they will justify it, but they won’t.
I do, however, expect a very strongly worded dissent from Justice Scalia.

Thanks tcrlaf.
She now says that President Obama should use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling by fiat...

Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. It's a shame Princess Pelosi did not read how Section 4 is to be enforced.

The President has no authority under this amendment to circumvent Congress.

Shes begging Obama to take total control of the government and rule by decree.Yes, by a certain constitutional standard Obama has the authority to do this! This is the law. However, the consequences are going to be devastating to Obama and Nancy. They are destroying the democrat party!

What’s amusing is Lucas obviously had Bush, and things like the Patriot Act, in mind when he wrote that line.
To: To-Whose-Benefit?
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, They keep forgetting about that pesky "authorized by law" part of the 14th. No such law authorizing the President to increase the debt ceiling exists.

Hehe. In their own way those folks WERE Founders too. Sec 1 was supposed to make State Actors honor Amendments 1-8 which were being seen as prohibitions which restrained only Federal Actors. (as both the 2nd and 7th still do because gutless hacks on the SCOTUS have refused to incorporate them against State Actors yet)
Nanzi wouldn’t know the 14th if it jumped up and bit her, unlike some Other DC types.
“If Congress can determine what constitutes the general welfare and can appropriate money for its advancement, where is the limitation to carrying into execution whatever can be effected by money?”
— South Carolina Senator William Draden 1828

Ask every Obama voter you know. "Is this REALLY the Hopey-Changey Thingy you thought you were voting for in 2008?" I did and the response is, "the democrats have to take action because the republicans want the economy to fail." These people have no sense at all!

This kind of cr@p is how dictatorships happen. I doubt our military leaders will allow this to happen. They have an oath to the constitution, not the president. I'd like to see nobamma try such a move!
