GWB must have had his fingers crossed when he pledged to "preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States".
Hmm, actually, that is the exact phrase. I just noticed that it doesn't say anything about OBEYING the constitution. Interesting. Maybe crossed fingers aren't strictly necessary.

Yes, that was my thought as well. I thought as I was formulating that post, "I could swear to preserve, protect, and defend this piece of granite I'm holding in my hand, but I'm not going to do what it tells me to do."
