They aren't "not doing their job". This is EXACTLY what the GQP intended. They don't now, and never have given a crap about an oath. The Democrats can scream until their heads explode, but as long as the GQP owns Congress, the WH and the SCOTUS, they are not going to change path.

WE are the ones WE are looking for. General strike now.
