I honestly don't understand what you are talking about. You obviously dont understand what the Constitution is, and how important it is to America. It is the American governmental rulebook, literally the Government itself, and EVERY elected official takes an oath similar to this one:
See that part about defending the CONSTITUTION "against all enemies, foreign and domestic?" Defending the Constitution, not America, is literally the primary responsibility of all elected officials. That should illustrate how important it is to all Americans, and why it is alarming when an administration chooses to ignore it, as well as the judges, courts and legal decisions that service the Constitution. They are literally tossing aside the rule book that has defined America, and inspired the constitutions of hundreds of governments, for the last (nearly) 250 years, in favor of an new, undefined, authoritarian government that exists for the benefit of the wealthy.
Beyond that, if you still don't get it, you are simply being obtuse, and not worth further clarification.
Forget it, you must not be American, so you dont understand anything about America.
America and the Constitution are essentially the same thing, and you are demanding to know the emotional connection to a person's own nation. It's called Patriotism, and its why every Olympic medalist, from any country, gets choked up when they stand on the podium, as they represent their country in front of the entire world, as their national anthem plays.
That's all. All citizens generally love their country, unless they've been fed a steady diet of propaganda which has twisted their minds into believing that destroying the country they love is somehow patriotism. Like them, you obviously don't understand the true concept of Patriotism.
And I am not interested in my message landing with MAGAs. They are ignorant, weak-minded, susceptible to obvious propaganda, and have no critical thinking skills. I have long given up on persuading them. They are now simply in the way, and should stay out of the way as we take back our government, or suffer the same consequences as the MAGANazi leadership is going suffer.
And by the way, you disengenuously QUOTED me as saying that they have "violated the EULA of their job," which is a phrase I never said, and don't agree with. Their oath of office is not a EULA, it is an OATH, and it carried legal obligations and responsibilities that can land you in prison if they are violated. Or at least it's supposed to work that way, if the Dems had any spine at all to play Hard Ball, and enforce the law.
I'm bored. Go away.
