Which would be worse, swearing on the Holy Bible and intentionally breaking one’s oath or just foregoing it and make it obvious?

I doubt he stands for “truth, justice, and the American way.”

How does one go about swearing in the godless? I think they should be made to swear in upon penalty of death.

He’s rightly afraid to swear that oath on a Bible.

But it’s a pretty safe bet that Superman isn’t going to hold him to his promises.

Socially liberal means he’s a fudge packer. May as well take the oath on used toilet paper.

Most of them should be sworn in on a Porky Pig comic.

From his wiki bio

Garcia was the California Youth Coordinator for the George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign.[7][8][9] He also founded the Long Beach Young Republicans in 2005. Describing himself as socially liberal and fiscally conservative, Garcia guided and organized the Young Republicans, which developed a charter that was recognized as an official club by the Los Angeles County Republicans.[10] Garcia also worked as an aide to Republican former vice mayor Frank Colonna when he was on City Council and ran Colonna's unsuccessful bid in the 2006 Long Beach, California mayoral election.[11]

Garcia changed his party registration to Democratic in 2007..

Oh, this is so rich. How do you ever fund a fiscally conservative budget that enables a socially liberal agenda?
