"The term "oath breaker" has been around since Old English was spoken. The term used in those times was "waerloga", which also meant "damned soul," "wicked person," and even "Satan". Suffice to say, an oath breaker was about the worst thing one could be back in the day. Punishments for oath breaking were of the spearing, hacking, or crushing variety; decidedly unpleasant. Interestingly, the word waerloga is also the origin of the word "warlock" in use today. History had fitting names and biblical consequences for those who would break an oath to the Almighty. Such oaths have long since faded in value, mere formalities today.
When it comes to our leaders' constitutional oaths, how many of them are acting less like oath keepers, and more like those ancient, oath breaking "warlocks?" Given the unrelenting torrent of legislative blasphemies, the answer is clear."
