"I 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 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."
So, Congressman Phil Hare (D- Illinois) was confronted at a Town Meeting and the following happened -

So much for upholding your oath of office. This stuff literally makes me sick. How can you take an oath and then totally disregard it? When legislation is proposed in Washington, D.C., or any State Capital, the first question that should be asked is " Is it Constitutional?" As a matter of fact, a few years ago, John Shadegg (R-Arizona) introduced the " Enumerated Powers Act". That legislation would have required any proposed legislation to include the Article and Section of the Constitution which authorized it. It was basically ignored. That shows you exactly what most of our so-called Representatives and Senators in Congress think of our Founding documents. James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Rutledge, and James Mason are rolling over in their graves, as they should be. Congressman Hale should be thrown out of Congress for making a statement like that, but we know what the chances are of that happening with current crop of jerks down there. We can only hope that enough of the American people have awakened in time to throw most of them out on their a**** come November 2. Want my best guess? Democrats lose at least 55 seats in the House and 8-10 seats in the Senate. Take it to the bank!!
