Anybody else remember, that some liberals have said Obama can ignore the debt ceiling based in the 14th amendment? That amendment has language to the effect that the public debt shall be honored and paid. So based on that, some had suggested Obama doesn’t need congress to do anything.

Just waiting to see if this subject comes up again as we face this deadline coming up. Obama likes to operate based in executive orders and if the GOP is spineless,obama will take unilateral action.

Seems to me like all this debt is a violation of that amendment’s “assume … any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States” clause in Section 4 of same.
