Hell! It would take 2 years to get to them, then whoever filed the suit would be ruled to not have standing. Those guys are a POS too.

It would be a sure road to impeachment.

My biggest question is how do you get anyone to buy the debt? All it would take is for one Congressman to file a suit against the Treasury and 0bama and no buyer would ever dare put their money at risk.

Whichever way they would rule, it would be 5-4.

The entire Pustule on the Potomac needs to lanced, drained, and cauterized.

Another question: if he did, how would it affect him politically.

“Government spending is out of control and have overspent the budget and he just wrote them a blank check.”

Easy question, easy answer.

The Supreme Court would rule 5-4 against obama. The same 4 who tried to rule that the 2nd Amendment did not, in fact, even exist would rule that sec. 4 of Amendment 14 has totally different meaning from what is plainly written.

Miss Rosen seems to be another disillusioned Obama drone.

Illegal. There is no way that language could be stretched to do what he wants. And he doesn’t need to do it anyway. There is more than enough money to pay the debt.

“What does the 14 Amendment have to do with Obama?”

14th amendment makes him more equal than the rest of us.

I am appalled at all the idiots in Congress who actually believe that its ok for the president to become dictator.

Not only ok, but constitutional !

The “debt” crisis is just a warm-up for the constitutional crisis our traitor-in-chief is stewing up.

What constitution? According to Obama, it’s an outdated, flawed document written by a bunch of bigoted, rich, old white men for times past, and places no real restrictions on today’s modern progressive government.

How many divisions does the supreme court have?

How many can be made up of the nation's 80,000,000 guns owners, armed with around 300,000,000 guns?

George Mason: "Who are the militia? They consist of the whole people, except a few public officers."

Noah Webster: "The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops."

Yep. No spine there either. We are being CONTROLLED by three branches of elitist snobs which think they all are better than "We The People". They believe that we are their subjects to be dictated too.

***************************************

“Con Law”, as it is so appropriately named in the syllabus of all U.S. law schools, is a review of the historical means and techniques to circumvent, dismember, or remove the context of Constitutional excerpts. It is not a presentation of the Constitution as an organic whole or its plain meaning on its face. When the true exposition of the Constitution was given up entirely I do not know, but the corruption of it began in 1803.

The Declaration of Independence is not mentioned at all, except with dismissal or in whispers.
