          The only feasible way the left can actually affect gun laws in a regular human lifetime is doing that: arm minorities and have them protest with their firerms. That’s the only way you can have dipshit retard Republicans to vote against their own interests in favor of gun control, by catering to their racism/sexism/genderism.

      Based on her statement about the Presidential oath, I think she also bought the argument that the phrasing “having previously taken an oath… to support the Constitution” doesn’t apply because the Presidential oath doesn’t specifically include the word “support”.

      Congressional oath of office:
      https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/oath-of-office.htm

      “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States…”

      Presidential oath of office:
      https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S1-C8-1/ALDE_00001126/

      “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

        Because no judge in history has ever made a decision based on synonyms. I’m all too familiar with how specific wording is in when it’s pertinent to the judge’s decision, and ‘judges are meant to interpret the meaning’ when it would be against a judge’s decision. This was stupidity writ in legalese.
