And doesn't EVERY elected official and many appointees swear or affirm to protect and defend the Constitution ? Or have the socialists destroyed those oaths too ?
I am bound by the Oath of Citizenship, elected public officials are bound by the Oath of Office, Armed Forces personnel are bound by the Oath of Induction, but an every day citizen takes no oath, and as such isn't bound by anything other than their patriotism, and as such, defending the Constitution becomes a voluntary action.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag, of The United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."
No oath to defend the Constitution there.
It is the duty of every citizen to defend this Nation, but no one is BOUND who has not taken an oath binding him.
The fact that you and I would feel obligated to defend the Nation and the Constitution, does not mean that another person should be bound to do the same.
