Posted by fingrpik in General Discussion: Presidency
Wed Dec 29th 2010, 01:31 AM
On Inauguration Day each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."


George W. Bush justified, and CONTINUES to justify his crimes by declaring "I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people."


No. It isn't. It never was. It is to protect the Constitution of the United States! I know, as you once so famously complained: “Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Sorry. But YOU took the oath. YOU failed to uphold that oath. Failed miserably. You failed to preserve, protect OR defend the Constitution. That makes you a criminal. And ignorance - even in your case - is no defense.

You have the right to remain silent.......
