Ohhhh, boy. Yep.

I actually have two copies of the constitution (as amended) close at hand. One is 'read only' the other is mounted to a clipboard that I can write on. So I can question and answer right there.

I took a similar oath when I enlisted in the Navy. "I swear or affirm to defend the constitution of these United States against all enemies foreign or domestic..." Unlike most, I take my oaths seriously.

I can tell you for an absolute fact that when the shit flows the other way that they want your full and legal name at every juncture. No exceptions.

I've got another bellyache that involves 'swear or affirm'. The pledge of allegiance that every kid used to say every day in school. ",,, one Nation, under God ..." The phrase 'under God' was added during the 'red scare' years in the 50s. Yes, Richard Nixon was involved. Added illegally, near as I can tell.

I get pissed when one of those jackholes is said to be a 'constitutional scholar' too. The only scholarship involved is a search for loopholes or a crack to exploit for personal gain.

Thanks for the reminder and for keeping your congressman aware. It will be unfortunately swept aside, but it's a good effort.
