There are points I believe everyone is missing:

1. The media has been putting out false reports during this whole debacle in an attempt to carry the water for this admin. I hold every reporrt not coming DIRECTLY from the house leadership suspect and thus not worthy of immediate reaction.

2. An $800 billion tax hike won't pass in the house. That's been made clear. And even if it did, I did hear senators paul and rubio talking filibuster to prevent tax hikes.

Boehner and cantor have held the line so far. Instead of sitting around waiting for them to cave, how bout we give them words of encouragement?

Barry and Boehner will say that this is too important a matter to be constrained by the partisan politics of Congress and, so, Boehner, Speaker of the House, and Reid, Senate Majority Leader, as representatives of those two bodies, will agree to permit Obama to impose the new taxes and the debt ceiling change by executive order. They will also send a message to the Supreme Court that since two of the three branches of government agree on this, the Supreme Court should just butt out.
