76. He's yielding to Obama's desire to break the law because he doesn't like the law either
The very oath is to preserve the Constitution, and he's asking him to have the voice of the United States endorse the existence of God. The oath is the oath is the oath. You can't add and subtract things from it as you damned well see fit; it doesn't work like that in a constituent republic. The law is the fucking law, period.

What if Obama wanted to add "as a sovereign Christian Republic" to the end of the oath, because he damned-well saw fit? Is that his "choice", too? I would balk at having him say such a thing, and I would absolutely fight having him have the Cheif Justice say those words for him to repeat.

Fine, let Obama add his own little embellishment as the others have done, but to have the Cheif Justice ask him to repeat those words is ILLEGAL. It is not within the Chief Justice's power to REWRITE THE OATH AS HE SEES FIT, and if he's asking him to repeat those words, HE'S REWRITING THE CONSTITUTION BY PERSONAL WHIM. That should be obvious as hell if anyone understands anything at all about consent.
