Obama needs the Army (General to Private) to back him up, all of them. If he violates the constitution, which it looks like he has here.... There is an oath to defend the constitution every officer takes, not the president, the constitution!

I, _____, having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ 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 reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

(DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

There’s more that one oath out there at play too.

For example, Texas attorneys must swear the following in order to be admitted to practice law.

“I,__________, do affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and of this State; that I will honestly demean myself in the practice of the law, and will discharge my duties to my clients to the best of my ability.”

Texas sheriffs take a similar oath when assuming office.

There is no way for either group to legally side with the BLM on this issue. In fact, one could argue there’s an affirmative duty to fight the feds tooth and nail whenever the Sock Puppet’s handlers violate the either the U.S. or Texas Constitution.
