9. They took and oath

Wed Jun 11, 2025, 07:29 PM

Jun 11

Ido 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 reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

NO where in that oath does it say that they can ignore the oath and do what trump tells them to do! They are breaking their oath and should be held accountable for allowing this shit storm to take place.
