Every government official takes the oath to support and ‘defend’ the Constitutution. Using a cliche, a lot depends on what you mean by ‘defend’. It can be active or passive. To me the higher offices like Congress or Courts demand that the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution be carried out in the active mode. Any person in these offices who seeing or knowing
of a wide public concern about some possible breach of the Constitution has a moral,ethical and legal obligation of their sworn ‘to defend’ oath to assure the citizens of the USA that the Constitution is wholy preserved from any suspected breach. In this framework of dedication it is apparent that the people occupying these offices, especially the Courts, have failed their oaths.
Then, there are those of us who carry it a little further. *ANYONE*, I repeat, anyone, who seeks to supplant the Constitution with anything else, be it "legal precedent", sharia 'law', 'executive order', or any other thing outside of the plain wording of that document is in effect, waging war upon the United States. The rationale is simply this, the entirety of the nation *is* that document, that unique contract between governing, and governed. And, by the strict definition of said document, waging war on the United States, by waging war on the Constitution, is TREASON...
