The hosts argue that the actual constitutional oath of office requires the President to protect and uphold the Constitution, not prioritize safety over civil liberties. They reference a PBS NewsHour article that clarifies this distinction in the context of modern political rhetoric.

This rhetoric is criticized for diverging from the presidential oath of office, which mandates the protection and defense of the Constitution. The shift in language suggests a move toward economic populism over constitutional adherence.

During his testimony, Holder gives an evasive answer regarding whether he is technically under oath, stating only that he has an "obligation to tell the truth." The hosts characterize this behavior as deceptive and typical of the administration.
