Others Have Been Made Fools Of By

I Will, To The Best Of My Ability, Preserve, Protect And Defend The Constitution Of The United States. It Is Not The Constitution As I Would Like To Have It, But As It Is, That Is To Be Defended.

It Must Be So Respected, Obeyed, Enforced And Defended, And Let The Grass Grow Where It May.
