I like the standard that so many Rats stated should be used for John Bolton - "would his behavior be tolerate in the private sector?"
How many Senators could pass that one?

It doesn't. I was referring in that case to the law.

If adherence to this oath were enforced, it would drive out most of the Senators. Not a bad idea, eh? Not bad at all. As far as I've seen, they're all useless, expensive welfare cases.
still_learning: your tagline is the BEST!!! Right on.

I've uncovered something that Durbin did that I'm sure he NEVER intended for it to be made public. IF the folks from IL play it right, it could sink him! Especially with the black community! I'm going to post it later this afternoon, and I'll ping you to it, if you want.

Since Dick Durbin has clearly violated the oath he swore upon entering office, why is he still a United States Senator? Becuase TIME magazine recently named Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators.

But it won't happen. The Pelosis, Boxers, Waxmans, et al in the Democrat camp think what the Sheikh said out loud. The RINOs don't want to rock the boat. So the traitors and seditionaires stay, Constitution be damned.Ping for later reading. There's a tree that is overdue for some watering.

PLEASE ping me and JustPiper. Thanks!!!
JP, who'd a thunk someone found this thread I posted nearly a year ago? It's timely, huh?!!
I think we should include the oath of office in our faxes. ....

Now my curiosity is whetted. I expected this thread to die a rather normal death, for all intents and purposes, back in June.
