Chief Justice Roberts Accidentally Reveals Everything That’s Wrong With Citizens United...

[calimary]

16. And he's a fucking IDIOT. Of the first order. Any Chief Justice of the SCOTUS should know the

Presidential Oath of Office backwards and forwards - drunk, stoned, and half asleep. THAT is one of the special jobs of the Chief Justice. Swearing in the new President, or the newly-reelected President. The Chief Justice does that. Furthermore, as such, the Chief Justice has at least a couple of months - from Election Night on the First Tuesday in November til Inauguration Day on January 20th - early November through mid/semi-late January - to practice, to rehearse, to prepare. It's 35 words. A single long run-on sentence. ONE SENTENCE. And Chief Justice john IDIOT botched the oath. The first Presidential swearing-in - for the first-in-American-history African American President of the United States. HISTORIC. JUST MONDO MEGA HISTORIC.

As a retired news person I just about had a seizure. "YOU FUCKED UP THE SOUND BITE, YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!" I just screamed when I witnessed that. Notice, mind you, that whenever you see that video clip from THAT DAY, THAT HOUR, THAT INAUGURAL CEREMONY, THAT TAKING-of-the-OATH, there will be NOT ONE soundbite or video clip that will show or play the entire oath. That landmark never-to-be-had-again moment in this nation's history can never be fully savored again. That fucker ruined the damn soundbite.

You watch. WHENEVER there's a retrospective on the Presidency, or on Barack Obama's presidency, his eventual obit, ANYTHING on that order, you watch. They will have to bail out on that HISTORIC "I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear..." BOOM. OUT. That's all they've got. For all time. That's all they can use - now and forever more, amen. That fucking idiot roberts ruined the historical record in a single instant. And it's not as though he was caught off-guard or had to rush over at the last minute or didn't understand his damn job or didn't have a chance to prepare or that it had some been kept secret from him until just moments before he had to administer the oath. He had almost THREE MONTHS to prepare, to rehearse, to memorize that very brief Presidential Oath, or at least write it down on a damn cue-card. He knew about THIS HISTORIC Inaugural - and about HIS own role in that historic moment, from the moment Barack Obama was pronounced the winner of the election on Election Night.

It pisses me off so much that I will be relentlessly reminding people of his idiocy as long as I draw breath. I will NEVER let this one go. OR let it be forgotten. john roberts is a FUCKING IDIOT. If he can't get 35 words right, with almost three months to prepare, I don't care what else he may do for the rest of his life. He's a FUCKING IDIOT. Then again, he was nominated by an idiot, so what else could we expect?

The oath of office of the President of the United States is an oath or affirmation required by the United States Constitution before the President begins the execution of the office. The wording is specified in Article Two, Section One, Clause Eight:

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:— “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” (I counted 35 words - not including the "or affirm" part.)
