Isn't it nice to see President Obama be the first president in U.S. history to be sworn in twice for the office? Why was it necessary you may ask? Well it would be due to an inadvertant slip of the tongue by Chief Justice John Roberts. Poor guy, I watched Justice Roberts' confirmation hearings on C-SPAN several years ago and I don't recall him making ANY slips of the tongue. But hey, throw in a few million people watching you during a mucho different event and those butterflies do tend to fly! I'll cut him some slack on it.
But there's an important point to what I'm writing here about the presidential oath "do-over". Why bother with it, why not just let the original swearing-in suffice? So what if the world "faithfully" was put in the wrong spot by a nervous Chief Justice? Because that silly little "living document" called the U.S. CONSTITUTION says every word of the oath must be uttered in a certain order. Period!
Isn't it nice that a document like the Constitution, which gets trashed everytime we turn around by socialists who run our government, is sometimes respected when it comes to things like the presidential oath? Maybe everyone should consult the Constitution regarding this Obama "stimulus package". IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL or will we need a "stimulus package do-over" sometime in the future?
