Moreover when they keep using the debt ceiling as a wedge they are threatening the power of the Congress itself. If Obama was successful in using the 14th Amendment to overrule the Congressional limit the Republicans would be asking themselves just what in the world did they do. Especially if that did indeed avoid another credit downgrade. Legal quibbles by Courts would seem quaint in comparison to the United States credit worthiness being preserved.
