Forget Compromise: The Debt Ceiling Is Unconstitutional

Much better than the 'deal' would be to listen to this:

'The debt ceiling crisis can be averted by enforcing the 14th Amendment, which mandates the government to pay its debts already incurred, including pensions. That means Social Security, which IS an "entitlement," in the original sense of the word. We're entitled to it because we've paid for it with taxes.'

...

'A bevy of legal scholars are recommending that the issue be eliminated altogether by playing the constitutional trump card. The 14th Amendment provides at Section 4:

"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

Where statute and the Constitution collide, the Constitution prevails. Whether the government should pay the bills it has already incurred is not a matter of negotiation. It is a constitutional mandate.'

Please explain.

Big TV Money shows, saying that if Obama invokes the 14th Amendment for the purpose of approving the debt ceiling raise, then he will have committed an impeachable crime.

So although by invoking the 14th, Obama would perhaps solve the debt ceiling raise crisis, he would then be forced to spend all his time dealing with impeachemnt issues.

I'm sure of it!

The last debt ceiling was authorized by law and sets a limit on the debt.

because all she covers is payment of debts and pensions. That doesn't make it unconstitutional to have a limit on total public debt when that debt is incurred to pay for all sorts of other things. Like the rest of government spending.

Why is it so difficult to find one of the "14th Amendment allows borrowing of any amount" people who actually bothers to explain why they think it applies to borrowing for the whole of government spending, rather than the debts and pensions mentioned in the amendment? They have to have come up with an answer already; why haven't they bothered telling anyone?
