“‘If their duty, their honor, and their oaths will not bind them, let us not put into their hands our liberty and all our other great interests.’ These are the powerful words of Gouverneur Morris, the ‘Penman of the Constitution’ and author of its preamble. Morris did not mince words during the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, and his warning remains essential today. Politicians across the spectrum routinely violate their oaths to the Constitution, and rarely, if ever, face accountability. Why? Perhaps the answer lies in ignorance, fear, or a lack of self-respect among the people who tolerate these transgressions. Let’s explore the original understanding of the oath to the Constitution, its foundational importance, and the dire consequences of its neglect.” (01/06/25)
