So, is Rand Paul still planning to filibuster the debt ceiling bill after all this?

[in_cog_ni_to]

When he took office he promised he would filibuster any bill to raise the debt ceiling. What's his plan now? Anyone know? He's been awfully quiet lately. At least I haven't seen or heard him lately. Thank G-d.

1. Is there going to BE a bill? Boy, I'm beginning to wonder. nt

[Drale]

2. There won't be a bill,

the debt ceiling will be declared unconstitutional.

[mckara]

3. And the Republican House Declared Irresponsible

I hope that you are correct!

[Lost-in-FL]

4. How? nt

10. So the Judicial branch will resolve the mess?

That doesn't sound half bad. I'm sure there must be a catch, somewhere, but it sounds like the separation of powers to the rescue. Hmm.

11. The President will do the declaring probably

the GOP will have lawsuits, throw a huge fit, but the SCOTUS is owned by corporate america and they don't want a default because it would fuck them. Corporate America has lost control of the GOP but they will control the Supreme court and for once it will actually help America, it will never happen again though.

13. You actually believe the Alito, Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, and Kennedy justices will

vote in favor of OBAMA? I highly doubt that. I truly wish I could believe you are correct, but I don't see it. This is the court that is responsible for the mess we're in because they appointed the asshole idiot-in-chief...who created this mess in the first place.

15. They are going to favor there money

and if we default, they and many other rich people will suddenly be really really fucked and lose a lot of their money.

16. I hope you're right. The RW elites certainly adore their money. That we know.

5. He is one of the reasons the debt ceiling will not be raised. Another: no vote in the House.

A House vote would be useless, because republicans said they would not approve an increase. Boehner doesn't want to have it raised either. The republicans are all crazy.

6. Rand Paul is a Senator

[AlinPA]

7. I know. That's why I said the "Another" was a House issue.

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. Then all that's left is the 14the Amendment or give the repukes everything they want.

Will he or won't he?

I agree Repukes are a bunch of sick puppies.

[Drale]

9. Wrong all that is left is the 14th Amendment

No matter what you give them, they will never agree to it because its from Obama's mouth and they are 100% set to go against everything he says and wants.

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Then 14th Amendment it shall be! Or arrest their asses and throw them in jail

for being domestic enemies.

[AlinPA]

14. Agree. If Obama raises it with the 14th Amend., then they will try to impeach. They will take

their time because they believe they will take the senate in 2012 to convict. Meanwhile, it's 18 months of media craziness over impeachment.
