Obama's New CIA Director, Mr. John Brennan, takes the oath without the Bible nor the Bill of Rights? Retake it!

What is wrong with this picture? AXJ USA could care less what religion this man cares to believe in but we will not accept the fact he has taken an oath on a piece of paper without the Bill of Rights on it. We want to make sure this man will uphold every American's rights to Freedom of Speech, of Press, to Bear Arms, and to Due Process before a life or property are taken. If this means retaking the oath so be it but the American People are getting sick of these strange actions by our Federal Civil Servants.

Obama's CIA Director, John Brennan, takes the oath without the Bible or the Bill of Rights

March 08, 2013

Make of it what you wish, but newly appointed CIA Director John Brennan took the oath of office in a back room behind closed doors with his hand not on the Holy Bible (he is reportedly a Muslim convert) but on an original copy of the U. S. Constitution, absent the Bill of Rights.

Yahoo News reported it this way:

Oh, dear. This is probably not the symbolism the White House wanted.

Hours after CIA Director John Brennan took the oath of office—behind closed doors, far away from the press, perhaps befitting his status as America's top spy—the White House took pains to emphasize the symbolism of the ceremony.

"There's one piece of this that I wanted to note for you," spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters at their daily briefing. "Director Brennan was sworn in with his hand on an original draft of the Constitution that had George Washington's personal handwriting and annotations on it, dating from 1787."

Earnest said Brennan had asked for a document from the National Archives that would demonstrate the U.S. is a nation of laws.

"Director Brennan told the president that he made the request to the archives because he wanted to reaffirm his commitment to the rule of law as he took the oath of office as director of the CIA," Earnest said.

The Constitution itself went into effect in 1789. But troublemaking blogger Marcy Wheeler points out that what was missing from the Constitution in 1787 is also quite symbolic: The Bill of Rights, which did not officially go into effect until December 1791 after ratification by states. (Caution: Marcy's post has some strong language.)

That means: No freedom of speech and of the press, no right to bear arms, no Fourth Amendment ban on "unreasonable searches and seizures," and no right to a jury trial.

How ... symbolic?
