Obama set to bypass Congress and raise the U.S. debt limit by declaring it unconstitutional | |
sonic doom User ID: 11391214  United States06/20/2012 09:48 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you were shocked by Obama instituting immigration reform via an executive order, then you might be a little shocked to learn that the political left is beginning to lay the groundwork for the upcoming debt limit debates. Rep. Nancy Pelosi is currently advocating that President Obama use the 14th amendment of the U.S. constitution and declare that the U.S. debt ceiling is unconstitutional. Quoting: Wonkish Pelosi: Obama Should Raise Debt Limit Directly, Go Around Congress ...She now says that President Obama should use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling by fiat — to preserve the country’s credit rating and avoid another economically harmful brinksmanship over the country’s borrowing limit... [link to tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com] Nancy Pelosi Says Obama Should Use Constitution To Avert Debt Crisis WASHINGTON -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that President Barack Obama should use the 14th Amendment to declare the debt ceiling unconstitutional in the event that Congress hurtles toward another debt showdown. "I'm a big fan of the Constitution," Pelosi said during a discussion on raising the debt ceiling in a sit-down with reporters. "The credit validity of the United States shall not be in question."

The key part, "authorized by law," which means a debt incured by a legislative act of congress; not a delcalation made by some illegal alien negroid. A raising of the debt cieling must be "authorized by law" to be legit. Pelosi may be a fan of the constitution, but she's too stupid to understand it. |

Ah but you forgot about part two: debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. Quoting: "for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion" was about the Civil War aka The War of Northern Aggression. |

So, what do we need to do? Exempt talking about What we need to do. Start from where you are. Talk to your friends, neighbors, etc. Call your Congressperson. Whatever you can do in your situation, do it. I took the time to correct the error that Obama had issued an EO when he acted by fiat instead. It's helpful to understand correctly just how much of an abuse of power this is. |
