Just for kicks, looked up that Oath of Office to refresh my memory about what I swore to. It's hard to believe everyone in Congress also took this same, or very similar, oath of office, considering how many have evidenced disbelief by their statements and their actions. Maybe they crossed their fingers behind their backs. Or maybe they never read the Constitution that they swore to support and defend.
“I, [name], 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.”

Always a great story that appears to be all in GK's mind for sure!

I think so often elected officials knowingly violate their oath when they have been told that a particular action is NOT in support of the constitution but they pass it anyway. I'd support a constitutional amendment that would immediately kick anyone out of office if they were found to have violated the oath. I am still amazed that after all of the illegal actions a certain President was involved in, he still persists in saying he has done nothing wrong and should be elected again. Sigh.

It's almost time to head over to TCM. I did notice that the free preview of DogTV is available for free. Maybe I'll tune it in on the other TV to see if Jerri likes it. She does like Lassie movies.
Have a great week y'all!

Florida State Seminoles kick off in a few minutes playing for the ACC championship against Lousiville. Lots riding on this game and their #1 and #2 quarterbacks have both been injured, so a tough night ahead. But if they win, they will be 13-0 and should be in the final 4 of the college rankings!
So long for the night, be careful in the week ahead!

Good luck to your Noles!
Our Huskies beat Oregon last night. And QB Penix still in contention for the Heisman.
