Oath To Tough Talk On Border Wall

Since we all know just what we are talking about, here is the Senate’s Oath of Office:

“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.”

If Senator Schumer or Speaker Pelosi wants to protest their oath, he or she can resign.

There are two distinct issues in this whole scenario: one is the wall and securing the border; and two is the status of Government in this partial shutdown mode.

But Pelosi and Schumer only recognize one as a problem, the government shutdown. Now what is extremely ironic is that they only care about opening government when the first basic, functional duty of that Government is to secure our borders and protect citizens.

No reservations.

Secondly that they took an oath — “freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion“– to “ defend the Constitution… against all enemies, foreign and domestic” The Constitution puts that central tenant of Government on protecting its borders, from invasion, as a priority function of their duties.

Now they don’t want to do that. They want to stand in the state of resistance, which is actually the state of Sedition. But that resistance is against the government of the US. Whether their base has lulled them into that position makes no difference. That is where they all stand. It comes down to either honoring their oath to defend the country or not. Their open-borders base does not want to defend the Constitution and makes no bones about their position of opposition to the administration and duly elected president.

So, by their own efforts, they are in a current state of sedition. That is what it is.

Thus Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer are aiding and abetting the enemy. They are also giving comfort to the broader enemies and invaders of the US, generally.

I found it fascinating how yesterday Nancy Pelosi was made Speaker and then swore in all the Dems by their oath. The skunk in the room was Democrats’ obvious ongoing state of protest with Trump, the administration and our national border security. Yet they stood their claiming to take that oath “without mental reservations.” Which one is it?

Are they proud card-carrying members of the Seditious, resistance Left or are they authentic members of the US Government — with no “purpose of evasion?” It does make sense though that the very first thing Nancy Pelosi would do as Speaker of the House is to defy her oath of office.(and then lead others) I mean it is what radicals do.

They either stand with the Sedition and their radicalized open-border, anti-American base of subversive miscreants… or honor their official sworn oath. But they cannot do both.

They did not take an oath to only make talking points and lies about some fictional “border security” illusion that lives only in their minds. And “technology” does not physically slow down invaders. How many invaders did their talking points repel? Actually, it undoubtedly encourages them. So, what is it about no “mental reservations” they do not understand?

God Bless America because the Left sure won’t.

Hey hey, ho ho… time to build the wall, ho ho!

Usurping along the expressway

And it looks like there is a little rubbernecking going on now.

“There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.”
–John Adams

John Adams said we are to be “A government of laws, and not of men.”

Congress Calls Out Homeland Security for Punishing ICE Workers Who Enforce the Law as Multiple Lawsuits Pileup

Tim Brown — April 6, 2015 | Freedom Outpost

As multiple lawsuits are pending by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents against the Obama administration, Congress has decided to investigate Homeland Security for potential retaliation against immigration agents who enforce the law.

The Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest drafted a letter last week in which they questioned Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson with regard to retaliation against DHS personnel, who are attempting to uphold their oath by enforcing the nation’s immigration laws against the wishes of the usurper-in-chief.

More from Adams:

“Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it.”

“When annual elections end, there slavery begins.”

So we were warned.

Flash from Nixon’s past

From the Articles of Impeachment for Nixon:

The means used to implement this course of conduct or plan included one or more of the following:

1. making false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;
2. withholding relevant and material evidence or information from lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;
3.   approving, condoning, acquiescing in, and counselling witnesses with respect to the giving of false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States and false or misleading testimony in duly instituted judicial and congressional proceedings;
4.  interfering or endeavouring to interfere with the conduct of investigations by the Department of Justice of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, and Congressional Committees;
5. approving, condoning, and acquiescing in, the surreptitious payment of substantial sums of money for the purpose of obtaining the silence or influencing the testimony of witnesses, potential witnesses or individuals who participated in such unlawful entry and other illegal activities;
6. endeavouring to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency, an agency of the United States;
7. disseminating information received from officers of the Department of Justice of the United States to subjects of investigations conducted by lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States, for the purpose of aiding and assisting such subjects in their attempts to avoid criminal liability;
8. making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States into believing that a thorough and complete investigation had been conducted with respect to allegations of misconduct on the part of personnel of the executive branch of the United States and personnel of the Committee for the Re-election of the President, and that there was no involvement of such personnel in such misconduct: or
9. endeavouring to cause prospective defendants, and individuals duly tried and convicted, to expect favoured treatment and consideration in return for their silence or false testimony, or rewarding individuals for their silence or false testimony.

In all of this, Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.

Wherefore Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.

Obama’s Biggest Lie

You might wonder, “which one?”. Well, there are many to choose from like ObamaCare, “if you like your plan you can keep it”. Notice Harry Reid can call all the victims liars, but yet can’t defend the central lie to Obama’s signature issue of his residency.

Or maybe the one about “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, period.

Or maybe it is one of the related lies that ObamaCare is going to reduce the debt. Or maybe it is where he said we will save 2500 a year per family on healthcare.

Or maybe it was that string of yarns about Benghazi, claiming he called it terrorism before blaming an obscure video.

Or the recent declaration of not a smidgeon of corruption in IRS.

No, even those whoppers and others still do not rise the level of the biggest lie. But it is not even well hidden. It’s blatantly obvious in front of the public every day.

His oath is the big lie. To “faithfully execute the office“… and “to the best of my ability“. He he has broken both parts, which is the central premise of it. It makes the oath his biggest lie yet. Oh, maybe we will find something to rival it, but it will be tough to find something that central and important.

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.

To the best of his ability, he defies the Constitution. The only thing he is willing to defend is himself and his political interests. He stood in front of a joint Congress in the SOTU and boldly declared he would circumvent Congress to a standing ovation. How much more defiant can one be? Since he had done exactly that countless times already, there was all the more reason to take him seriously.

Even Georgetown’s Jonathon Turley took issue with his conduct, in a hearing(3hr) in December.

“In fairness of Milbank, I was indeed arguing that President Obama had violated the Take Care Clause and was placing himself above the law in these instances.” – Turley said of his Decemnber testimony.

Five years into his residency, he announces to the nation that Congress is irrelevant. They applaud him. Turley later also expressed his reaction to that.

I think that we’ve become a nation of enablers. We are turning a blind eye to a fundamental change in our system. I think many people will come to loathe that they remained silent during this period.

TURLEY: I’m afraid this is beginning to border on a cult of personality for people on the left. I happen to agree with many of President Obama’s policies, but in our system it is often as important how you do something as what you do.

And I think that many people will look back at this period in history and see nothing but confusion as to why people remained so silent when the president asserted these types of unilateral actions. You have a president who is claiming the right to basically rewrite or ignore or negate federal laws. That is a dangerous thing. It has nothing to do with the policies; it has to do with politics.

…But what we’re seeing now is the usurpation of authority that’s unprecedented in this country. “

So you would think this biggest lie would be taken pretty seriously, getting quite a reaction. But it seems to be ignored. The one lie that needs addressed and ties to the other things he’s done, all the scandals, to the office and public, to the job itself. But the one everyone in Washington seems to willfully ignore.

To believe Obama now “requires the willing suspension of disbelief”.
“This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.”

Rogue tyrants and dictators get resolutions and sanctions for their behavior. What response has Obama’s central lie gotten? If they are just waiting for the next one, we’ve already seen the biggest lie, upon which others are built.

If this isn’t the biggest one yet, then what is?

JAMES MONROE, MARCH 4, 1817, INAUGURAL ADDRESS:

“It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising the sovereignty.
Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found.
The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin.”
