When the Oath Of Office Fails: How Long-Term Border Non-Enforcement, Emergency Governance, and Norm Erosion Undermine the Republic
from Craig Bushon Show
On today’s show, before we talk about borders, politics, or policy, we need to talk about something far more fundamental: the oath of office.Every public official in the United States swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution. That oath is not symbolic. It is the legal foundation of their authority.When laws go unenforced for decades, when emergencies never end, and when discretion replaces duty, the problem is not just policy failure—it is oath failure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
