The Oath Of Office. I'm waiting...
Congress:
I, Loyal Citizen of the Republic, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Senate:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

President:
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.

Support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. Well? I'm waiting... Conyers, Webb, Waxman and Waters can't do it all by themselves. You people swore an oath, get off your asses and stop the Administration from wiping it's ass with the Constitution. Why Gonzalez even has a fucking job anymore is beyond me.

1. Right on, walldude, right on...
I have been saying this quite some time. Why Bush and Cheney have a fucking job anymore is beyond me. I honestly believe that Pissypants has never read the Constitution. He has his flunkies read it to him and believes what they tell him.

"Oh, yes sir...you have the power to spy on anyone at anytime. You can imprison them without evidence and you do not have to explain the charges to them. Yes sir -- it's all written right here in the Constitution."

2. What good is an oath if they don't abide by it?
The oath they should say is "I will support and defend corporate profits against all regulations, both foreign and domestic."

It's what they are all doing.
