(82,849 posts)Even the president swears to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. Not his office. Not the American people (even Obama fell into that trap on occasion). The Constitution. Without the Constitution, there is no United States.

(14,565 posts)Conservatives are fixated on use of the word Constitution. I think you get one free murder if you are holding a copy at the time. Hillary was crucified by right wing pundits for failing to say "uphold the Constitution" when asked her Supreme Court guidelines last year in the first debate.
Comey did well to mention the Constitution early today. That diffused and confused wing nuts. Too bad he didn't drive them nuts by using the word in every sentence he called Trump a liar.
