Debt Ceiling Trilemma
Prof. Dorf co-wrote an interesting and pretty convincing argument about the choices the President has, but ultimately, it would be better if we didn't have to keep on dealing with this game of chicken. The idea the medical device tax repeal is a "compromise" is a joke -- all this for that? It's not even good policy-wise. ACA helps them, they pay a small tax. Horrible!

Interesting article although I find it curious that anyone considers Posner a constitutional authority or a serious legal scholar.
Maybe, it's in respect of his father, or politeness when discussing the other side, here a Yoo sounding view of executive power given the tenor of some of his articles.
