That oath doesn't cherry pick amendments.

It's still against the platform. Many cancer patients disagree with B Calm Jul 2016 #37

Medical uses are fine, and I would certainly consider. apcalc Jul 2016 #57

As a Senator he swore an oath to "Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". George II Jul 2016 #50

True, oaths don't cherry pick amendments. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #52

I'd be more impressed with C from the NRA and A from PP aikoaiko Jul 2016 #39

If a right wing fascist organization like the NRA gives you a rating of "F" Cali_Democrat Jul 2016 #41

And also probably something wrong. Hence the C as ideal. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #43

What would you be doing wrong if you get a rating of "F" from the NRA? Cali_Democrat Jul 2016 #44

For example, banning some guns via AWB. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #45
