Not on Bible? Or Koran? (barf)
But on a never ratified version of the Constitution.
No freedom of speech or the press, no right to bear arms, no Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches and seizures, and no right to a jury trial.
Officials do not swear an oath on the Constitution, they swear an oath to "Protect and Defend" the Constitution (the real one).
More Obozo treachery. Or is it ineptitude?
How do we know he actually took the oath ... not that it would matter to most folks today.
Ping.
Ouija Board is more likely for this crew.
Not to mention, that bare hands should not touch that document.
Wow! Thanks for posting...this is important stuff.
That said, Brennan is probably so ignorant he doesn’t even know this, and as a Muslim convert, he probably hasn’t picked his head up off his prayer mat long enough to care. But the people behind him know it.
I can’t believe that a representative of our major enemy is now in charge of our security services.
I’m thinking of opening a business that sells tar & feathers, gallows, rails, torches and related supplies. Any investors out there? LOL
Not correct. It was ratified in 1788 without the first 10 Amendments.
There was a debate at the time with one side fearing that Congress would have too much power and infringe on rights and the other saying that a bill of rights enumerating certain rights could well be used at some point in time to deny rights that were not enumerated in the document.
The anti-Federalists won that debate during the ratification process with an agreement that the First Congress would enact a Bill of Rights, which it then did -- the 1st Ten Amendments.
But keep in mind. The Congress and the Courts, until the post civil war and the passage of the 14th Amendment, did not consider the Bill of Rights as a check on State Laws, but only on Federal Laws.
The states, then depending on their own constitutions, had a lot of leeway as far as infringing on what we now consider to be basic civil liberties and could make laws that clearly violated the Federal Bill of Rights.
As an example, you right to free speech was not respected in some states before the 14th Amendment if your speech happened to advocate abolition. People could be charged under state laws back then and the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution did not protect them in the least. The 1st Amendment only said that Congress can not restrict speech, but it did not keep the states from doing so.
That changed with the 14th Amendment.
Hmmm.. no Bible.....and no Koran.
Adds fuel to the firethat Brennan is a secret muslim (remember the big CIA spook in Zero-Dark Thirty on his prayer rug??)
The Congresspersons that voted in favor of this Muslim ,Brennan, must someday and somehow be made to answer to their perfidious against the Constitution of the USA. With Muslims now in the USA agitating for a Sharia government/law nation it would boggle the minds of the Founders for such an event to occur.
how did that filibuster work out?
It's never that...it's contrived and on purpose.
