This is about the oath of office that we take to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, which — in its wisdom — our founders put… (sputters) “A republic,” Franklin said, “if you can keep it,” or a republic — a separation of power — not a monarchy. “RUSH: Yeah, well, what is it they’re upset about?

That’s what… Oh, gee, it’s been going on for 2-1/2 years.” Exactly right: 2-1/2 years where you found nothing when you got nothing. Don’t doubt me on this, folks. They are flailing, and if they didn’t have the media with them (which they always will have), it would be paramountly obvious to everybody.”
