The Constitution is a contract with the States and the citizens of the nation, If the contract is suspend IE Broken then all bets are off Right? In other words it can be see as an act of aggression by the then invalidated non-representatives. After all they only get their authority from this Contract (Constitution) to begin with!
If he suspends the constitution, he should be immediately arrested. And, we should immediately stop paying federal taxes of any sort.
Dream on. The Republicans will once again fold up.
“One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they’ve already racked up,” Obama said in his weekly address. “If Congress refuses to give the United States the ability to pay its bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy could be catastrophic. The last time Congress threatened this course of action, our entire economy suffered for it. Our families and our businesses cannot afford that dangerous game again.”
Section 5 of the 14th amendment states:
“The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”
The President is given no authority to over ride the Congress.
Obama can’t ignore the debt ceiling unless Congress lets him. If he tries, the House can simply “zero out” the budgets for every cabinet level department except Defense and let Obama explain to his supporters why their Federal jobs are going away. The Left was deathly afraid Newt Gingrich was going to do this back in early 2005.
It’s a fallacy to believe that any of our “public servants” give two damns about us or the constitution. They are all members of the most sophisticated criminal organization ever assembled. False hope empowers them and provides them cover.
Nothing short of torches and pitchforks will stop these thugs from robbing us blind. Until this happens nothing will change.
The great and mighty Barack Obama seems like a bubble that’s about to burst.
For the first time in his presidency, the vast majority of Americans are about to actually EXPERIENCE the pain of Obama’s policies. There will be increased taxes for every worker, increasingly higher medical-insurance rates, increasingly fewer full-time jobs as employers try to save their companies from ObamaCare fees, etc.
And everyone thought Obama only hated the RICH and wanted to raise THEIR taxes and make life more difficult for THEM. Poor Joe Blow and Mrs. Blow; they’ve been cheated, they’ve been lied to, and they won’t be happy with the president who did this to them.
If Lil Barry is dumb enough to suspend his own authority as CIC, the military will not support him. Who is going to enforce all his silly edicts. Military, no, States, no. He’s got too many landmines and guns owners to navigate. The guy is an ass and no one likes him except the press and his inner circle of Chi-town thugs. His ego like all wannabe tyrants will be his downfall. I see a Khadafi-esc end to the dirtbag.
