| Mercurius User ID: 1087913 United States07/03/2011 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Talk about a man with Hitler-type obsessions, Obama is starting to think like Hugo Chavez because Obama thinks he's smarter than anyone regarding the Constitution. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1453301Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, warned President Obama on Sunday to not even consider interpreting the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment to bypass Congress and raise the debt limit without its approval. "That's crazy talk. It's not acceptable for Congress and the president not to do their job and to say somehow the president has the authority then to basically do this by himself," Cornyn, a former judge on the Texas Supreme Court, told "Fox News Sunday." The proposal that Obama re-interpret Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment to justify raising the $14.3 trillion debt limit has been gaining traction in Democratic circles since Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told reporters that the Constitution's language could support the president's raising the limit without congressional approval. More here: [link to www.foxnews.com] Obama's responsibility is to the American people not to a few Tea Party nut jobs. If congress doesn't want money spent they shouldn't authorize its spending. Default is clearly in violation of the 14th amendment. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1243271 United States07/03/2011 03:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tyranny is such an ugly thing.. Marcus Tullius Cicero quotes: A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. |

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1178880 United States07/03/2011 03:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The president does not want to look weak again, after he caved on extending the bush era tax cuts. It's a classic game of chicken. I don't think a deal will be reached in time. And I for one and quite pleased with that. Let the house of cards come crashing down. My life won't change either way. It's funny how if your broke and living paycheck to paycheck, stuff like this don't mean a hill of beans to you. |

| Least Servant User ID: 1379655 United States07/03/2011 08:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The 14th Amendment most definitely does NOT give the President the authority to act unilaterally on this matter, on top of this, it goes against all prior legislative precedent. The only suitable response to this action by the executive would be articles of impeachment, and I don't say that lightly by any means but this matter is black and white. :romaflag: Not enough to fight, too many to die. |

| Bio-hazard User ID: 878454 United States07/03/2011 08:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And this should surprise anybody?! COUNTRY FIRST These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read: 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. 5. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. |

I'm sure this is one idea on a long list, that they have in their bag of tricks. The Pres will do this and if we still are sitting on our asses, then he simply goes to the next idea on the list.

The Tea Party is comprised of American citizens who are quite sane, & who see the Constitution and our Bill of Rights being trashed by corporate paid off thugs in Congress and the White House. Within a couple of years, the very sane Tea Partiers exerted enough power to scare the crap out of the crooks in our government. The article itself did not mention the Tea Party. It did mention a former Texas Supreme Court Judge who is now a senator.
