– House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said action must be taken in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School because members of Congress took an oath to “protect and defend,” although the actual oath says to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States ….”
Pelosi held a House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee hearing on "Gun Violence Prevention: A Call to Action,” where she endorsed the gun control proposals President Barack Obama unveiled today.
“Earlier this month, shortly after Newtown, all members of Congress took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people,” Pelosi said. “To protect and defend. That is our first responsibility.”
“Today, members of the House Democratic Caucus have come together to fulfill that duty to confront the challenge of gun violence in our society and act to ensure the safety and security of our communities,” she said.
President Obama and Democrats have called for stricter gun control legislation in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, in addition to the 23 executive orders signed by Obama today. Gun rights groups, including the National Rifle Association (NRA), have pushed back against new gun laws, saying they will infringe on the right to bear arms guaranteed by the 2nd amendment to the Constitution.
The oath taken by members of Congress as they are sworn in does not include the phrase “protect and defend,” nor does it include anything about protecting the American people, though it does include a vow to defend the Constitution.
According to the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House administers the following oath to members:
“I, (name of Member), 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.”
The presidential oath of office, however, states, "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."
During the hearing, Pelosi praised the 23 executive orders issued by Obama and endorsed his call to reinstate the 1994 “assault weapons” ban, implement a universal background check system and institute a ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
The Democrat hearing included testimony from Janet Robinson, the superintendent of schools of Newtown, Conn., where gunman Adam Lanza murdered 20 first graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14.
Other witnesses included Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter; Scott Knight, chief of police of Chaska, Minnesota; and Emily Nottingham, the mother of Gabe Zimmerman, a staff member to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was killed during the Tucson, Arizona shooting.
“We look forward to hearing their ideas and testimony and answering the call to action on gun violence prevention,” Pelosi said. “We are especially pleased to be doing so on the day when our president—as we continue to mourn for the families of Newtown—has told us that the time for action is now.”
“We must do everything in our power to stop this terrifying violence in the future,” she said. “We recognize that these challenges are not new, and as President Obama said so eloquently in the days following the shooting, we can’t tolerate this anymore.”
“These tragedies must end and to end them we must change, he said, and today the president put his proposals on the table,” Pelosi said. “He outlined 23 executive actions the administration is taking right now, he demanded action from Congress on establishing a universal background check system, restoring the ban on assault weapons, banning high capacity assault magazines, putting more police officers on our streets. We must address issues of mental health, keeping weapons out of the hands of those in danger of doing harm to themselves or to others.”
“These common-sense proposals, among others, represents steps we can take and must take right away to put a stop to the violence,” she said. “As the president said today, this time must be different.
“We agree,” she said.
While an autopsy was performed on the Sandy Hook killer, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who committed suicide at the scene, toxicology reports for him have not been completed. The toxicology tests could show whether there were psychiatric medications or illegal drugs in Lanza’s system.
pelosi: either an utter certifiable MORON, or a nasty contagious oozing blistering boil on the body politics of this bedeviled country.
I finally see the debate as moot.
I only have one law to follow, 2A. Period.
Come and get it, jerks.
Heh, heh, heh.
She needs much support for all that sagging Botox and I won’t get into her other need:)
That evil bitch knows exactly the oath she took. She is a liar and depends on the tratorous MSM to overlook her lies.
I ask you, because they are pretty much unforgivable.
You are an insult to everyone that actually took the oath to defend and protect this country, You serve at the whim of the marching morons of San Francisco, If it was to me your ugly a$$ would be fired.
ANd oath to “protect and defend the CONSTITUTION” - she is one of the chief violators.
First we have to pass an unconstitutional bill to see what is in it, then we have to have gun control because THEY took an oath of office to uphold and defend our rights? DO we really need any more evidence than this to put this woman in an asylum?
Pelosi you ignorant slut.
She states that she must violate Constitutional liberties, because she took and oath to to “protect and defend” [Constitutional liberties].
These people cannot be cured of their tyrannical impulses.
The DINGBAT SPEAKS! And makes Joey B. look intelligent!!
The DINGBAT SPEAKS! And makes Joey B. look intelligent!!
Oooohhhh bbbooooo,
I can’t believe I double punched that stupid thing.
terrifying violence??
I’ll take getting shot over getting hacked to bits in my mothers womb, everyday of the week
of course, the 3400 kids killed EVERYDAY would prolly prefer to take their chances against the crazy gunman... but they don’t get a say in the matter.
This dingbat is crazy. Typical insane Democrat.
Nancy, I and many others in this country also took an oath to “protect and defend”.
Speaking of Pelosi here is a good one (I have to email this to her):
“A few years ago I was crossing the street - (50th st and 11th avenue in Manhattan for all of you who must know.) And as I was crossing, this truck made a right turn onto 50th and knocked me to the ground and cracked my skull.
As I was out, my heart stopped and I stopped breathing. I was dead for 4 minutes until the ambulance came and revived me.
But in that time while I was dead, I was mistakenly sent to hell. I found myself in a large stadium with millions of people all facing Satan who was giving a sermon in a lake of fire.
Suddenly an usher came up and told me my seat was way in the back, the very last row. When I asked him why, he explained everyone is seated according to how evil they were in life.
He said the row of people before me was all the people who helped Hitler get to power.
The row before them are all the people who helped Stalin.
The row before them is all the people who helped Mao.
I then saw that the seats in the very front row were engulfed in flame, and Satan was vomiting the most horrible green acidic slime that could ever be imagined on top of the people sitting there.
When I asked who those people where the usher said:
Those are the people who kept reelecting Nancy Pelosi.”
LOL!
LOL! Don't waste any time and forget...Do it now!!
This was long overdue!
They should publish this for all elected officials
What a waste of Tax Payer’s money!
USAF TOOK NANCY ‘S JET AWAY
Well, looks like the old broad of the House will have to pay her own way
back and forth to California (mexifornia). The Air Force took her jet away
from her. Read the article below.
(verifiedby Snopes)
The real reason that Nancy Pelosi is considering retiring is that they
took her Jet away.
Ah, poor baby!
As a result of a Judicial Watch filing under the Freedom of Information
Act, the USAF released documents detailing House Speaker Pelosi’s use of
United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010. The data are
published in the Judicial Watch Verdict of December 2010, Volume 16,
Issue 12.
Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all
the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman
over a sixteen month period.
Several of these flights included Ms. Pelosi’s guests, such as grown
children, grandchildren, various in-laws, friends and hangers-on. Over 95% of
the trips were between the west coast and Washington DC , for what you
might call a commute between home and the office. READ it and WEEP!!
Total trips: 85 over a 68 week period, or 1.25 average trips per week.
Total mileage: 206,264 miles, or 2,427 average miles per trip.
Total
flying time: 428.6 hours, or an average of 5 hours per trip.
Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744, or $27,715 per trip, or $1,285,162 per year!
Cost of in flight food and alcohol: $101,429; $1,193 per trip; $62,051 per year.
On one junket to Baghdad, according to the Air Force report, she had the aircraft bar stocked with Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Grey Goose Vodka, E&J
Brandy, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Maker’s Mark Whiskey, Courvoisier Cognac,
Bacardi Rum, Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewar’s Scotch, Bombay Sapphire
Gin, Jack Daniels Whiskey, Corona Beer and several varieties of wine. This was obviously a very important “gubment bidness” trip.
Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi’s case it speaks
the language of abuse and (evidently) a serious familial drinking problem,
for in a single year she and her spawn drank an amount in excess of the net income of the average employed American! When she said, “... If the
stimulus doesn’t pass, five hundred million people might lose their jobs...”, I thought she was unintentionally revealing her ignorance. I’m now more
inclined to think she was pickled.
Even though she can no longer abuse the USAF, she can either flyon her broom, or fly Southwest Airlines, where bags fly free.
