An Inconvenient Fact — Our Constitution Has 'Domestic Enemies'By Joseph SchmitzThursday, 04 June 2020 04:49 PM
n his June 2, 2020, article in The Atlantic, former Chairman of the Joint Staff Admiral Mike Mullen wrote, "Our fellow citizens are not the enemy, and must never become so."
In the same article, Admiral Mullen wrote: "I remain confident in the professionalism of our men and women in uniform. They will serve with skill and with compassion. They will obey lawful orders. But I am less confident in the soundness of the orders they will be given by this commander in chief, and I am not convinced that the conditions on our streets, as bad as they are, have risen to the level that justifies a heavy reliance on military troops. Certainly, we have not crossed the threshold that would make it appropriate to invoke the provisions of the Insurrection Act."
The inconvenient fact is that some of "our fellow citizens" have become enemies of our Constitution, not only during the American Civil War.
By statute, every "individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: ‘I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; . . . .'" 5 U.S.C. § 3331.
