What if the plan was to ALWAYS go over the debt ceiling? To put the executive branch in a position where, one could argue, they violated Section 4 of the 14th amendment?
In my opinion that is exactly what the plan has been and the cat is out of the bag. Let's take a look at a few quotes from the weekend.
"Obama should be impeached if the Congress allows a default and he does nothing." Rep. Gohmert.
“Defaulting on our national debt is an impeachable offense, and any attempt by President Obama to unilaterally raise the debt limit without Congress is also an impeachable offense,” Palin said.
Given the timing and resolve we have seen on the part of the House I'm willing to bet this has ALWAYS been the plan and unfortunately for America we're going to watch it play out.
