Obama Urged to Invoke 14th Amendment to Bypass Congress
2011-08-01
From Democracy NOW! (which advocates Socialism if not Communism) comes this:

Obama Urged to Invoke 14th Amendment to Bypass Congress
The Congressional Black Caucus
A Racist Organization - even it's name is racist - but lets not go there today
is urging President Obama to invoke the 14th Amendment affirming the validity of the national debt as a means to bypass Congress. In his speech on the Senate floor, Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders also backed the 14th Amendment proposal.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
I bet you can tell he's a Democrat even if DemocracyNow (which advocates socialism) plays Guess-that-Party)
"The Constitution is very clear in saying that the debts of the United States, quote-unquote, 'shall not be questioned.' The president swears an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and many
not most or a majority mind you - but 'many' which I believe is more than 7
constitutional scholars
Note that Obama is a 'constitutional scholars' and as we've seen in the VP debates of '08 Biden is too (at least in his own mind) - so we know how low that bar is.... but I digress
believe that the 14th Amendment gives the president the authority and responsibility to pay our debts regardless of the dysfunctionality of the U.S. Congress."

#4  A good argument can also be made for a BALANCED BUDGET in the Constitution, wid or widout need for any formal Congressional or Fed statute.

SO WHY THEN, ARE US CONGRESSCRITTERS ROUTINELY DISSING THE CONSTITUTION, AKA "LAW OF THE LAND"???

#2  He caucuses with the Donks,

So if Socialism is like Juice cooties, does that mean the entire Democratic Party is infected?

#1  Bernie is actually a Socialst, and was elected with that Party title on the ballot. He caucuses with the Donks, because..well, caucusing with other official Socialists would be lonely. It's a subterfuge, but "cute" to his constituents. Assholes
