Dick Cheney Tells Chris Wallace: ‘Traitor’ Snowden Possibly Had Chinese Connection Before Leaking

60. Well the cause is the defense and protection of the Constitution. Did you know that the oath

taken by every elected official and military personnel has one requirement of them 'defend and protect the Constitution'. That is ALL that is required in their oaths of office.

Women and African Americans may not have been ALLOWED to vote but they sure did not accept those laws. They WORKED, the violated OTHER laws, they PROTESTED, DEMONSTRATED and got themselves arrested, some even killed by law enforcement, but they did not just say 'well, it's the law'.

And Snowden is doing what they did, he is risking his own freedom and life, as they did (and now we call them heroes, back then they were called traitors) to protect the US Constitution.

That is what he said, and another hero, once a whistle blower himself, Ellsberg, calls him 'the man we have been waiting for for 40 years'.

So what would do to defend the Constitution if you are not going to break any laws to try to save it, what would have done about women voting, if you were not willing to break any laws to get that vote?

'We were only following orders' has not been an acceptable excuse for wrong doing since WW11 when those who WERE following the laws of their countries, were prosecuted for NOT violating those laws and this country was responsible for many of those prosecutions.
