"Impeach John Roberts"

By GottaLaff

Craig Crawford isn't usually this openly passionate from what I've seen, so he must be awfully upset about this:

There is simply no excuse for United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts bungling the presidential oath of office to such an extent that Barack Obama might need to do it again, at least in private, to ensure the legality of his inauguration.

Roberts should be impeached and removed from office for this unforgivable error. The Constitution requires certain language for a presidential oath of office. Roberts blew it. And if he doesn't understand such things he should be fired for misfeasance of the first order.

Here's the latest, in case you missed it:

White House Counsel Greg Craig released this statement:

"We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time."

The pool report has great details of how it took place:

At 7:35 pm, Roberts administered the oath of office again to Obama in the map room.

"We decided it was so much fun..." Obama joked while sitting on a couch.

Obama stood and walked over to make small talk with pool as Roberts donned his black robe.

"Are you ready to take the oath?" Roberts asked.

"I am, and we're going to do it very slowly," Obama replied.

Oath took 25 seconds. After a flawless recitation, Roberts smiled and said, "Congratulations, again."

Obama said, "Thank you, sir."

Smattering of applause.

"All right." Obama said. "The bad news for the pool is there's 12 more balls."

One: President Obama has a great sense of humor.

Two: President Obama has stamina. Now come on... Get your minds out of the gutter. Besides, how would I even know that?

No, no, I'm talking about all those balls. ... ... ...

What did I just say about getting your minds out of the gutter? Go to your respective rooms. Man, I can't take you guys anywhere.
