If the guy wins, he may have to "revise and extend" his remarks on revolution before he takes that oath.
LOL! Maybe you should read the Declaration of Independence.
In case you have forgoten, it goes something like this:
when in the course of human events it becomes necessary to sever the bonds...
“I’ve read the constitution and noticed that there isn’t any provisions legitimizing violent overthrow of the government.”
I am far from an expert on the Founding Documents, but perhaps a reading of the Declaration of Independence would clarify what is being discussed on this thread.
Consider that most of the offenses against what was to become America, committed by King George, are being done to us now by Barak Hussein and his crowd of Chicago, urban black thugs, and Moslims.
You looked in the wrong document- check out the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.
It would actually be somewhat a reversal of what you suggest --once the government is deemed illegitimate; e.g. not upholding the Constitution THEN it is required to be overthrown...
Americans do not swear an allegiance to men or governments made of men -they swear an an allegiance to the Constitution. Our rights, unalienable, many detailed oin the Constitution are endowed by the Creator -it is not men or governments made of men that grant rights or rule in a nation under the law and under God...
Think about it -your argument would in essence suggest the "original" revolution was illegitimate which it was not -further it was not discussion and laws that secured our liberties ALTHOUGH discussion and laws seem intent on encroaching upon them...
