...you know...to support and defend the Constitution, and to observe the Laws, etc. He may be using his First Amendment rights to talk about "the Lord's work", but to include himself in a religious group that "is ready" to work against the interests of this country, its values, and its government, not to mention the rest of the world, seems to me to be a departure from his oath of office and he should find his arse in a sling ready to be catapulted out of office...at least from being Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee for a start.
Am I wrong?
