These senators took an oath. And they broke it.
(Chief Justice John Roberts)
At this time, I will administer the Oath
to all Senators in the Chamber.
Do you solemnly swear?
– [Man] I do solemnly swear.
– [Man and Woman] That I
will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States,
against all enemies…
foreign and domestic.
– [Men And Women] That
I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same.
That I take this obligation freely,
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion.
And that I will well, and faithfully,
discharge the duties of the office
on which I am about to enter,
so help me, God.
– [Woman] You swore to this.
– [Man] Before God…
– [Man] …and Country.
– [Woman] You took the oath.
– [Man] …and you broke it.
– [Woman] Your God…
– [Man] and your country…
– [Woman] …are watching.
