Phage, stop being sane and moderate. We can't have that around here!

After Obama finishes saying what the law requires him to say, he can say any fucking thing he wants. To demand the court restrict the President's freedom of speech is preposterous.:rolleyes:

I don't care much about that issue, but from a cursory scan of an article a while back, I think that at least part of the issue was that John Roberts would say "so help you God" as part of what Obama is supposed to repeat, making it more part of the oath than a personal choice. I do have a bit of a problem with that, if I understand it correctly. The only problem I have with Presidents adding it themselves out of religiousness or tradition is the eventual annoying shitstorm if one ever decides not to.

Oh ok, I didn't realize it was included in the official repeat after me.

I wouldn't swear to it (get it?), but that's the impression I'm under.

You forgot the drumroll. :haha:
