Oh, we're all going to wait and see. Not a problem.

Regarding not telling the whole truth, that was a reference to your earlier post about shooting a witness before he takes the stand.

This was not a good comparison, because the standards for ''truth'' are variable due to circumstance. The standard of ''truth'' for a sworn witness simply cannot be the standard of ''truth'' for a president, as noted in one of my earlier posts. On the witness stand, omission constitutes a violation of the witness' oath to tell the ''whole truth''. Not so for the president (and a good thing, too).

The President didn't omit anything he said "faithfully interpret the Constitution", IF he nominates a "good" judge in my eyes, Brown, Estrada or Luttig it wouldnt be a lie.
