What a laughable oath; everyone knows what a crooked lot it is whom rule tthe bar.

Acting sanctimonious, as though they all upheld the highest level of moral scrutiny, is a grotesque insult to the citizenry they mock and fleece.

When law-yers start practicing rightful honest common-sense jurisprudence AND NOT participating in this elite and exclusive immoral quagmire of crooked legalese wrangling, perhaps society may someday accept them as decent equals and not predatory destroyers.

BULLOCKS

What an amusing anecdote, in today's landscape!

Laws, We got; equitable definition and application of them is another question entirely. When We sovereigns are expected to follow the letter of the law and receive harsh penalties for not doing so, Our illegal invaders enjoy relative impunity for their transgressions, whilst Our ruling class enjoy practicing wanton lawlessness at the highest levels of public awareness and trust. And to imagine, from the perspective of the wayward democrats, this is all whitey's/American Constitution's fault.

U$A is now officially Uncle Sham

Liberty, the universal elixir of the emancipated mind.

When was the last time We heard any GOP leadership championing Liberty in any offical pronouncements, ever? Meamwhile, the dems are all-in for statist fascism for all.

Thank God for Trump and his supporters!

One of my all time favorite quotes, please click here to see its proper context which makes it even more powerful: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Adams/99-02-02-3102

Wiser words were never spoken, when it comes to foreseeing the moral and social rot now manifesting throughout the democrat plantation, whose Orwellian New World Sheeple are seeking to instill democrat fascism for all - where operating and maintaining moral God-fearing Liberty was once the pride of all Our populace.

At first I was disgusted to see all the downvotes of such a powerful statement, alas with the help of some sage commenters I realise such is the vacuous depravity that now inhabits minds of MSM-brainwashed anti-Americans bent upon the eradication of Our very Liberty, which as Adams admonishes, was created with precarious vulnerabilities from its outset.

SAD AND AMAZING, so many crooked lefties can down-vote such a bullwark of Our American Constitution - I ask all you America-haters, is there anything traditionally American that you believe in, or are proud of?? You smite Liberty, you do the devil's work! MAGA

Fascist lefties are willing to surrender Our Liberties, and they are anything but tame in their militant refusal to engage in MAGA. Crooked lefties scoff at alternate Truths not diffused by their lying MSM, and now they outright ridicule all traditional American virtues. The democrat plantation keeps them blind and ignorant, and rotten MSM has them debauched to a biblically illustrated degree (hello Sodom and Gemorrah) - and wearing this satanic weight around their necks like a badge of progression, Our lefties attempt to drag what's left of America down the cesspool with them.

Waffler's post is ludicrous on its face - that is NO COUNTER, such dishonest Orwellian newspeak is PART OF THE CROOKED LEFTY DEBAUCHERY.

TIME FOR ONE BIG NECKTIE PARTY!!

The democrats and republicans have created this evil cesspool of usury, now it's up to Trump and We Heartlanders to MAGA.

Nooses are proper punishment for those sworn to uphold Our Liberty, then voting to enslave our grandchildren into debt, whilst TPTB gild themselves and their children for posterity.

As usual, the crooked lefty statists find themselves at odds with both Our lawful Liberty, and Our American Constitution-based custom of maintaining it for Ourselves and Our posterity.
Waffler, it must really STINK to be such a crooked America-hater today, it must be twice as bad to have a boor like Trump do more lawful decency for America in a single year than Bammy did for Us in 8! Like Mike, I can see you govt-as-god democrats are now sworn enemies of American Liberty, and your ilk will never rest until We have govt despotism for all, codified by your stinking TRAFFIC LAWS down to the nth degree, BULLOCKS!!
To Mister Shuttleworth, I am afraid "Our" U.S. Military are owned and operated by a derelict Uncle Sham ever since at least the end of WWII, they are not operating in any Constitutional capacity, nor have they ever fought nor been allowed to win any legal war since then. No wonder they take your guns away off-duty, TPTB know fully well how their lawless and traitorous and murderous heinous distortion of power represents the very evil which Our Founders meant for Us to dispatch long before they ever got to this precarious point. It took the humiliating and insulting travesties and transgressions of the anti-American/NWO Hussein-Obama regime to focus American Patriots once again on the essential need to have a home armory capable of securing Liberty, where obviously Our govt cannot or will not; funny, how the most tyrannic POTUS ever resulted in highest recorded sales of publicly-purchased arms ever -- that tells me The Spirit Of Liberty is alive and well in the hearts of the millions of American Pats whom know and love Our Constitution and Liberty, where Our crooked misled lefties now clamour for universal govt for all.
BEAUTIFUL QUOTE IS AN APT LESSON FOR ALL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS -- SHOULD BE MANDATORY COMMON CORE OF EDUCATION!!!

Walter in Fullerton, I implore you to click this link, it tells the story behind this quote and gives some additional insight about why this was chosen for our discussion.

Your attitude was my first reaction as well - but I knew due to my own deficient education and base grasp of language, I needed further study to comprehend exactly what the fine Justice Harlan meant. The quote is eloquent, fluent, and makes perfect sense, if you merely read its back-story.

I perceive no hint of anything "arrogant", dunno from where you get that, Mike... This is a beautiful quote, regardless of theology.

Reminds me of the simple beauty of U.S. Constitution; Our Founders distilled centuries of wisdom into an amazingly succinct document and philosophy - and now Our socialist-fascist left clamours for the very govt tyranny which America's Constitution banished - BULOCKS.

Mencken perfectly describes the democrat plantation m.o. Either you believe in Liberty, and MAGA -- or, you believe as dems like Jack Green in Ohio: that Slick Willy is above reproach, as long as he and Crooked Hellary pitches for the govt globalists.

GOVT IS PURE EVIL, THAT'S WHY THE DEMS LOVE IT - and it's also why the GOP refuses to relinquish its illicit elite stranglehold over We People!.

To Patrick Henry, in Red Hill: THANK YOU for that wonderfully excellent quote - which I copied to my favorite quotes pages!

I cannot decide whether this nazi/utopian platform was written by "the people" (I doubt it) or The Party (my guess); to me, it seems as though The Party took full advantage of the dire situation, and their powermongers crafted this wily address, in order to wield the gauntlet of tyranny.

The parallels with our modern Democrat philosophy and its anti-American constituency are truly staggering to comprehend, how repugnant to find so many millions of brainwashed ignorami, ready to kill the Constitution and its followers, so they can revel in the self-delusional practice of relinquishing their sovereignty - and ours as well - to The State!

I agree with other commenters: CRICKETS TODAY FROM THE LEFT, who read here plainly how they are today's nazis in full unabashed socialist regalia; and yes - we appear to be headed for an eventual war against these irreverent dupes (and despotic govt) who intend to sell America out to the NWO.

THIS QUOTE NEEDS TO BE FORWARDED TO ALL - ESPECIALLY TO THE LEFTIES WHO PROMULGATE THIS MADNESS ONCE AGAIN, FOR WONT OF A WORKING COMPREHENSION, OR RESPECT OF HISTORY.

Five Stars to the Editor!!!
INCREDIBLE, AND TRUE

Eerie, how accurate the great minds were, with quotes such as this! Pathetic, to see the lessons lost on generations who are taught that plunder is a good thing, and the state a righteous master. These 2016 democrat socialists are not Americans in any way, they are enemies of Liberty and they're coveting anything we can produce for their sofa-utopia class. Hey waffle-man, this vote's fer you: Bern, baby, Bern - maybe that's where Hillary opponents go...
