For the President:   “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

For the Supreme Court:  “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _____under the Constitution and laws of the United States; and 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.” 

For Congress: “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 metal reservation or purpose of evasion; and I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office I am about to enter. So help me God.”

The domestic enemies of the Constitution are the Progressives, and Democrats. Like the Ten Commandants, the Constitution is full of “Shall Not’s” that are meant to limit the power of government.

Obama and his minions  hate the Constitution, and wish to shred it. Their oaths mean nothing to them.

This is especially true for 4 members of the Supreme Court.

And the Republicans oaths mean nothing also,  because they’re afraid to defend it.

We live in dangerous times.

 

 

Three stories about sexual assault, a heinous crime if there ever was one. It’s when a man male choses to debase himself, to throw off any pretense of civilized behavior and wallow in abject debauchery.  Then offers lame excuses about being intoxicated, or it’s the culture,  and everyone was doing it.  In the Stanford case this was Brock Turner’s excuse. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/09/us/brock-turner-blamed-drinking-and-promiscuity-in-sexual-assault-at-stanford.html

In Nashville another case of student athletes behaving badly.

In both cases the evidence was overwhelming, witnesses and video. Of course one was white, the others black. The parameters of the cases being that separate states have different rules.  One judge had leeway, on didn’t.

And an outrage I just heard today.https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-accused-groping-13-old-130006872.html

For some people it’s apparent that “NOTHING” is beneath them.

Of course there is one group that will always get a pass, especially in Europe. At the speed and the direction were going it won’t be long before it will be the same here.

Closer to home two sex assault charges were dropped against Sen. Mcallister due to inconsistences  in the accusers latest testimony and previous accounts. He still faces four more charges from accusations of another woman.

Since there seems to be no extra evidence (video or audio recordings, other witnesses) it boils down to a he said/she said situation. Some people seem to want to put the crime of sexual assault in a special category were the burden of proof is placed on the accused to prove his innocents from the presumption that he’s guilty.  The majority of the state senate already believe he is.

Kris Lukens director of Voices Against Violence said “it is common for victims of trauma to confuse the details of what happened to them”. That may be so,  but when we’re talking serious prison time, the defendant and his counsel have to do whatever they’re legally and ethically allowed to do to counter the accusations.

I don’t know if Sen. Mcallister  is guilty or innocent.  All I know that if I was accused of assault and the only evidence was someone’s word, and with the distinct possibility of a long prison term,  and I was innocent, I would have to pull out all the stops to defend myself.  I’m allergic to prison.  But like Sen.  Mcallister,  where does one go to get their reputation back?
