Since Dick Durbin has clearly violated the oath he swore upon entering office, why is he still a United States Senator?

[thoughtomator]

Because, as BJC proved, an oath don't mean squat in the USA anymore.

[agitator]

Well, he probably was actually administered the oath. The fun starts when you start looking into state officials. They're supposed to have a current oath on file and many states also require a bond although they hate that. Try looking up the current oath of the judges in your state and watch the fun begin...

Since when has the law or the Constitution stopped the Dems from doing whatever they wanted.

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;

He has an out here....or so he and his colleagues might think. It's the same one Michael Moore used; the same one Hillary used. In Durbin's twisted view, he really IS protecting the U.S. against domestic enemies--our military. They take their socialist vision and stamp "America" on it and then say that they're defending the United States.

Because Liberals can get away with things like this, and his colleagues and the MSM won't hold them accountable.

"United States Senate Oath of Office"

United States Senate Oafs in Office

This was the very FIRST thing that popped into my head when I saw that headline.....Has the current state of elected officials made me THAT cynical?

[henderson field]

If adherence to this oath were enforced, it would drive out most of the Senators.
Not a bad idea, eh?

Great find, thanks for the link.

"I, A__ B__, 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." (5 U.S.C. 3331.)


sounds like America as a whole lot of traders running around telling us what to do

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.

Becuase TIME magazine recently named Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators.

Or about 75 others for that matter?

Oh come on, you can ignore this oath. Your 'Sinators' do.

There aren't enough Senators who uphold the oath to do anything about it.
