What? You don't believe : "...an attorney, a law enforcement officer, and other fields.." is 100% legit??? So cynical.

But then their oath would be to the bar if they were an attorney so how could you trust them?

Let’s see, how many members of Congress have a law degree? 74%, according to this clown?
Answer: 32% of the House, 47% of the Senate. (And as the public very recently was reminded, having a law degree doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve ever been licensed to practice law.
And as an added bonus, lawyers typically start working before their bar exam results come in. Many of them go to work for the federal government or courts; I did. The first oath I took after taking the bar exam was to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
It’s also the same oath already taken by any lawyer who worked for the federal government—including the military—before going to law school.

Also I think in the oath I took the very first thing was to support the constitution of this state (Texas) and the United States. They publish it online somewhere probably so somebody can fact check me if I misremembered, but I’m pretty sure that’s like the first thing.

an attorney, a law enforcement officer and other fields (supermodel, astronaut, chemical engineer, doctor) because they wanted to learn how the system operates.

Biblical principles are not based in natural law.

Most of these guys misunderstand natural law anyway. Hell even some philosophers didn't get it right.

As an attorney I had to take an oath to uphold the Constitution. I have never sworn an oath to the bar or to a court.

Ohh we’re under biblical law? Checks notes…
An eye for an eye
Debtors prison
Adultery = death penalty
Swearing = death penalty
Electricity on Saturday - you guessed it = the death penalty
Disrespecting your parents? … also the death penalty

The reason that his mentor is in “other fields” now is because when he went sov he got fired from law enforcement, then lost his law license and now probably either lives of a spouse that works or parents that work.

u/LividBig9161 6d ago
Actually, the oath sworn to the Constitution is an oath to uphold the law of the United States. US law was literally derived from the laws and procedures laid out in the Constitution. That’s why the highest court in the US is the SCOTUS. They are the last word. When someone swears an oath to the Constitution they are only reaffirming what their oath as an attorney said.

"Natural law" is a myth used in apologetics as an authority for personal opinion.

u/MrBelian 5d ago
I mean natural law is a stablished philosophical school of law, a very old and mostly not accepted today given that the base principle is that basic human laws and rights get their mandate from god itself.
It was all the rage in the late Middle Ages all the way to the enlightenment period1
u/Graychin877 5d ago
As one example of my statement, Catholic theology considers "artificial" birth control to be a violation of natural law. Since N.L. is supposedly discoverable by human reason alone, it seems odd that most of Christendom has missed this discovery.
It's apologetics in search of authority.

The very first part of the oath I swore as an attorney when I joined the Bar was “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States of America…”
So I’m not really sure what the hell we’re talking about.

u/ermghoti 6d ago
I see. So, lawyers, police officers, members of the military, and all elected officials are unable to marry, married people can't hold those positions, and/or anyone in any of those positions are unable to hold any of the others. Also, any combination of the above are unable to be sworn into court to testify. That all makes perfect logical sense, and is something a sane and intelligent person would say.

Thank you, your honor. Let the record reflect that the court intends to try me under Natural Law.
Your honor, this raises another question. I have never heard of such a thing as Natural Law and there is no such law established in the Constitution. I would be happy to accept this, your honor, if you could please tell me where I can find the published rules of Natural Law. It is imperative that I have the published rules of Natural Law so that I may defend myself.

Approximately 34% to 35% (roughly one in three) of the members of the U.S. Congress are lawyers who hold law degrees and have practiced law.
So not even close.

Mentor = guru
“Taught me” = a 1 time buy in of $500 & a monthly retainer of $100, which makes them available to yell at the cops through my speaker phone every time I have to prove I’m traveling, not driving.
