So ..... they're grilling him in the Senate. How will you feel if he promises not to prosecute the torturers?

4. they could make him promise to not prosecute |
|
but that promise would mean shit - he takes an oath to support & defend the Constitution. No promise he makes to congress critters could bind him beyond his sworn duty.
"I (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
