Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Jul 31 05:01:35 2011, in response to Legal Scholars Support Ignoring the Debt Limit If Congress Fails Its Constitutional Responsibility, posted by dand124 on Sat Jul 30 18:10:35 2011. For the last time, Obama has no power to unilaterally ignore the debt ceiling unless the law that brought it into being is repealed or amended, by Congress.As for the 14th amendment, liberal legal scholar Laurence Tribe has already laid out why this is impermissible: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/08/opinion/08tribe.html Bruce Bartlett has pretty much made a career out of being the "go to guy" whenever the left wants to present someone with Republican credentials agreeing and supporting liberal Democratic narratives. The link you provided contains a bunch of unrelated articles that Bartlett interprets as supporting his argument. The link I provided above lays out (in no uncertain terms) why Obama is bound by whatever number Congress sets the debt ceiling at. For a complete and total fisking of Bartlett's insane rantings, read here: http://spectator.org/blog/2011/07/05/is-obamas-end-run-around-congr# |
