51. This is ABSOLUTELY wrong and ILLEGAL
If he wants to say it himself, as all the others (I'm pretty sure of this) have, then that's fine. But to have the Chief Justice say the words is to literally change the law with no consultation whatsoever. Sure, Article One talks about Congress not making such laws, but there is still no authority for an official to CHANGE THE WRITTEN LANGUAGE OF THE CONSTITUTION. To do so is to endorse the concept that there is a supreme being, and this is NOT part of the Constitution.

Why is it that so many believers have such a pathetic and shaky faith that they need to require everyone else around them to buttress their guess? It is taken as an attack for anyone to be getting in the way of anyone reminding us that THERE DEFINITELY IS A GOD AND WE, AS A GROUP AGREE TO THIS. That is privilege, aristocracy, bigotry, and untold other forms of exclusivity, and it is against the very soul of democratic populism.

It would be illegal. The Chief Justice is to administer the oath as written.

Who does Obama think he is that he can just pick and choose with his obedience to THE LAW?
