Every Democrat once voted “No” on 14th Amendment;now they want to twist it to make Obama our king?

The 19th century Black Republicans would weep to see the stunts the CBC and other Black Democrats pull today.

invoking the 14th Amendment...

What's this "invoking" crap? The 1st and 2nd need no "invoking" maneuver to make them effective. In this case, is it supposed to make it legal for their intended purpose or something? Invoking, its like Harry Potter and Herminone waving their wands and casting a spell. Or, like in Pirates of the Caribbean, "invoking" pirate Parley. The most anti-constitutional party seems intent always at finding new ways to belittle our founding document.

If the repubs would reject this in the house by siding with the conservatives, obama would have to do this. He ain’t gonna’ do it. Therefore, they could get whatever they want. obama has a birthday party to get to.

By the way, I thought muslims didn’t celebrate their birthday. Oh, that’s right. This isn’t a birthday party. It’s a fundraiser.

I would argue he can’t appropriate funds, but he can start selling assets. Start with selling the Hubble telescope ...

No, sell lands with valuable mineral and energy holdings.

Just because one has the right and obligation to pay debts doesn't mean that they have the means - where does he get the damn money?

So, if they “invoke” and obama becomes the de facto “king”, how many of you will just say “ho hum” and change the channel to “American Idol”?

Remarkable apposite to reference the Emancipation Proclamation since it only covered the slaves not under US jurisdiction at the time it was issued. The EP freed not one slave in the areas outside of Union control.

Equating the present day Democrats with the 19th Century Democrats and demonizing both of them is a foolish tactic that some conservatives keep resorting to but it plays right into Marxist hands.

What do you call the most staunchly Republican region in the U.S. today?

The South.

In 1862, what did you call the great-great-grandfather of almost every present day Southern conservative Republican?

A Confederate.

Up until 1948, what did you call the grandfather of almost every Southern conservative Republican today?

A Democrat.

The old members of the Party of John C. Calhoun joined the Party of Lincoln a long time ago, to become one, because, whatever their 19th Century differences during the Civil War, they were still very loyal to the concept of "America" under the Constitution.

Those old Democrats became Republicans because the old Democrat Party had been taken over by the the Red Diapers Babies whose fathers and grandfathers were still in Europe learning Marxism and preaching Marxism when the original American Democrats and American Republicans were squabbling about the 14th Amendment on the other side of the Atlantic.

The modern day Democrat Party has neither 19th Century Southern American philosophical roots or 19th Century Norther American philosophical roots. It has 19th Century European Marxist roots.

Philosophically, the modern day Democrat Party is neither the Party of Abraham Lincoln nor the Party of John C. Calhoun. It is the Party of Karl Marx.

The modern Democrats do not represent the values of 19th Century American Democrats. They represent the values of 19th Century European Marxists.

The modern day Democrats figured this out very long ago which is why they have waged a campaign for decades to demonize Southerners and everything having to do with Southern history. By attacking Southern history, they attack a very large chunk of the modern day Republican base.

Yes, both the Confederacy and the Union had major defects in the 19th Century but, today, they have both joined under the tent of the GOP.

Today, the GOP tent is the last refuge of what used to be 19th Century America, both North and South.

The political enemy today is not the 19th Century American Southerner political philosophy or the 19th Century American Northerner political philosophy. Those political differences were resolved long ago and both sides are now joined under the GOP banner.

The philosophical enemy today is the 19th Century European Marxist that passed on his European political virus into the old American Democrat Party. Attacking the 19th Century Democrats of the Party of John C. Calhoun only helps the present day Democrats, the followers of the Party of Karl Marx.

He could do that with a stroke of a pen. We’ve seen many big things done in history that way. I’ve joked with my staff the other day,‘tell me what was the bill number of the Emancipation Proclamation.’ It was an Executive Order.”

The comparison to the Emancipation Proclamation ignores historical fact. Here is a brief history from Wikipedia:

Lincoln issued the Proclamation under his authority as "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" under Article II, section 2 of the United States Constitution.[3] As such, he had the martial power to suspend civil law in those states which were in rebellion. He did not have Commander-in-Chief authority over the four slave-holding states that had not seceded: Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware. The Emancipation Proclamation was never challenged in court. To ensure the abolition of slavery everywhere in the U.S., Lincoln pushed for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. Congress passed it by the necessary 2/3 vote in February 1865 and it was ratified by the states by December 1865.[4]

Note that the Emancipation Proclamation was a war-time effort, and only applied to states that were in rebellion against the Union, and thus did not apply to all the slaveholding states.

As far as I know, there are currently no US states in open armed rebellion against the United States, and thus the President has no CIC justification to invoke.

What would be better: to continue to pretend Washington is not an anti-constitutional treasonous conglomeration of pigs with a fake debt limiting action or permit Obammy to prove Washington is above the rule of law by killing the power of the Congress outright.

I say let him clearly show the people that their votes do not change business as usual in DC and that Washington is prefectly willing to overcome the constitution’s design of power. Let them see Chavez.

Suppose Oh’bummer decided to pay everything, he still has to have money. He has to ask the Fed to issue bonds or self-finance a la QE2 which they would be reluctant to do.

Were there a wisp of possibility to the plan, the Obamedia would be explaining nightly how it would work.

I don't see invocation of the 14th Amendment as a credible threat but I've been wrong before.
