always with the classiness, marcy. RT @emptywheel: Golly. These Angry Black oBot freaks sure don't understand how symbols work.
@AngryBlackLady Yeah, sorry I couldn't be as hyper and crazed as your blog-writers. Dunno how they sustain that.

@emptywheel I am actually interested as to why you chose the amendments you did, instead of, say, 13th, 14th, and 19th. -
@AngryBlackLady Aside from my reference to those as ALL THE REST (so I did) CIA has been accused of violating 1, 4, 5, & 6 recently (also 8) -
.
@emptywheel my point is, worrying about symbolism of those particular amndmts specifically to the exclusion of those i mentioned is silly. -
Brennan symbol thing reminds me very much of State capitol flying Flag of the Confederate States of America

@emptywheel you can't really think that Brennan swearing on a constitution that doesn't contain those amendment spells doom... -
@AngryBlackLady No. But the WHITE HOUSE chose to make it symbolic. And the actual SYMBOL he used was neither law nor abt rule of law. -
.
@emptywheel so? maybe dude like old documents. maybe he's a history buff. i mean, come on. this is truly absurd. -
@AngryBlackLady Alternately, folks just didn't think through that something meant to symbolize rule of law ought to be an actual law. -
.
@emptywheel i think your claim is a stretch. -
@AngryBlackLady What claim? -
.
@emptywheel you seem to be implying that swearing on that version of the const. indicates some nefariousness that i'm just not seeing. -
@AngryBlackLady The WH made big effort to make this symbolic. They just executed very poorly, ended up not symbolizing what they wanted. - 1 more reply
