I just realized why Roberts messed up the Oath of Office ...
it's the same principle of why demons can't say the Lord's Prayer ... if they said it correctly, they'd be destroyed ...

So, a part of the Constitution, Roberts could not speak it correctly in its entirety ...

You know, the same principle must apply to freeptards ... if they spell something correctly, they will be destroyed ...

10. Tweety just said that per the Constitution, the oath is just a formality
Harry Truman & Lyndon Johnson became presidents the moment FDR & JFK were pronounced dead without taking the oath.

Obama became president at noon even though the oath was delivered shortly after.

12. After the new composition was completed, one of the guys on MSNBC
was saying that Barack Obama was officially the President for four minutes, even though the Oath hadn't been administered (publicly) ...

3. Too bad Justice Stevens couldn't administer the Oath.
I know the Chief Justice does it for the President but it just seemed weird to have Roberts administer the Oath to a Democratic President.

4. I think it was completely innocent.
As we suspect, Roberts is most likely gay...not that there's anything wrong with it. Looking up into Barack's beautiful eyes and pronounced manliness probably made his knees quiver and he forgot his lines.

It's a possibility....

7. Remember that John Roberts coordinated the protest against the 2000 recount.
He coordinated the thugs yelling "let us in" at the recount.

His justiceship was a quid pro quo for putting Bush in office.

And he's still dicking around with us.

Asshole.
