You mean this oath? The one that swears to obey the orders of the president?

“I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and of the State of ______ against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of ______ and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.”

“According to law and regulations.”

The president is breaking the oldest law we have. Around deez here parts we call that the constitution, Kyle.

So are you going to pay for the legal fight they would have and eventually lose? Will you pay their fines, fees and serve their sentence? And pay them when they can't find a job due to a dishonorable discharge?

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, use my taxes to defend people that don’t betray the constitution.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

No, you personally. Since that's what you're asking of these people.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yes.

You can take my personal taxes and pay the people that aren’t traitors to America.

You, personally, can go do it.
