When I took my oath as an officer many years ago I swore to support and defend the Constitution. I did not swear to support and defend and interpret the Constitution, that last part is the responsibility of others.

Then what the hell good was your oath??? and who were those others??? Were they stated by you as part of your oath as well???

You swore to "support and defend the Constitution" -- not to "support and defend someone else's interpretation of that Constitution".

If you didn't read and understand the Constitution, and know what it said and meant, then you should have refused the oath until you could actually read and understand it. But that would have required due diligence on your part --

It sounds like your oath was malleable and breakable and subjective and in need of interpretation as well, and therefore not worth diddly squat.

The 'others' are the Supreme Court. If you would read the Constitution and the history of the court you would know that.

Then would it be safe to assume that you support Ehren Watada and Michael New?
