Bel article sur le site de Slate... Une réponse à la demande des membres du Tea party qui exigent qu'une hausse du plafond de la dette soit accompagnée d'un changement à la Constitution.
"For a group that claims to revere the Constitution, the Tea Party appears pretty determined to deal it a death by a thousand cuts. Its latest attack involves a nasty little piece of constitutional revisionism, complete with a "How can you be against that?" title: the "Balanced Budget Amendment." Putting aside the political questions about whether such a law is wise or practical, it also crashes headlong into the very constitutional principles the Tea Party purports to cherish.

So as part of their misguided effort to undermine the Constitution, they also plan to hold hostage the full faith and credit of the United States of America."
