The continuing drama "on the Hill" over the debt-ceiling is one BIG piece of political shit going on. Here is an OpEd from the Post that is interesting in terms of Obama invoking the 14th Amendment and ordering the Treasury to lift it by Executive Order. I know very well that this would errupt into calls for impeachment (plus who knows what else- he is taken to task for going to the bathroom as far as I'm concerned) by the GOP, yet, it does call out the ultra-right and the Tea Party congressional members on all their "get back to the Constitution" line of bull. I saw vander Heuvel interviewed about this piece last night and as usual, she has some damn good points!
