Words have meaning
Saw some video of Sara Taylor over at Kung Fu Monkey. Taylor worked in the White House, reported to Karl Rove, and was under subpoena related to the firings of U.S. Attorneys.
When I got married, oh Jesus, 13 years ago, we talked a lot about the vows. We talked about what the words meant. Why the words were chosen. What was in, what was left out. The options available to us, including "thereto I pledge thee my troth".
At bottom, the vows were the agreement we were making. The vows were the why we were getting married in the first place. The vows gave two kids an idea of what the hell marriage was supposed to be about.
Sara Taylor took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Apparently, she confused that duty with a duty to support her President. We learn two things from this. First, Sara Taylor will promise anyone, anything because she's not really paying attention. Second, democracy doesn't mean a hell of a lot to some of the folks working in the White House.
