We need to dig deep into our souls to stop this, not only for us but for those next generations to come. Do we really want them to live under a dictatorship. This is happening from within our own country not ISIS, not Muslims, Latinos. These are so called Americans.

The Combined Oath

Upon occasion, appointees to the Supreme Court have taken a combined version of the two oaths, which reads:


“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.”


I don't see our lawmakers doing this so we need to step up to the plate. Very sad state of affairs.
