19. Congress could be challenged by this clause cleverly embedded in their oath of office. . .

“. . . I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;”

How pray tell, does pledging an oath to never, ever, ever, raise taxes on the “elite" beneficiaries of the greatest wealth from our economy, no matter what the heck the national circumstance (even boneheaded protracted exorbitant quagmires), *not* qualify as a rather *severe* “mental reservation”. . .?
