....can get the one Keith Ellison used.I know nothing really works or makes sense anymore, but you shouldn’t be able to swear in on a book which contains ideas that are antithetical to the constitution of the United States of America.

@gtconway3d Keith Ellison took his oath of Office using the Quran and the world didn’t explode

Funny MAGA never got around to purging the Library of Congress. Maybe because their Dear Leader can’t read.A Qur’an, in fact, that Thomas Jefferson purchased in Williamsburg in 1765 that a half-century later he transferred, with the rest of his book collection, to the Library of Congress, where it remains today. https://t.co/OvN3gwtwPT https://t.co/EUzkWKhhp3

(And yes, read correctly, the Hebrew and Christian scriptures contain ideas that are antithetical to the Constitution of the United States. The process of kicking these people into the outer darkness, where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth, is gonna take awhile.)
He could swear on a phone book as long as he promises to uphold equality, democracy and the common good, as far as I'm concerned. And none of that is in the damned oath. I'm so interested in how unconcerned these Muslim haters are with the fact that literally no one other than a handful of Republicans swearing on the KJV have ever fulfilled the oath they took. Hell, the Roberts Court went so far as to say that Trump doesn't have to uphold the law he's sworn to uphold. Which would make them all impeachable since by doing that they violated their oaths, both of them.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see somebody do it on an empty, bound journal. And listen to the screams of those who say the swearing in was illegitimate. I’d rather they change the term to “pledge” anyway. As Curly said in court: “Do you solemnly swear…?” “No, but I know all the words.”
