Oh, dear. Bush Derangement Syndrome strikes again:
A newly elected village council member is suing the municipality to have the oath of office declared unconstitutional because it supports the federal government, something he says he does not do.
Basil E. Dalack, 76, an appellate lawyer, also wants the words ``and government'' removed from the section that reads, ``I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution and government of the United States and of the state of Florida.'' The lawsuit was filed last week in federal court.
...
Dalack said if he reads the oath, he would be a blind supporter of the war in Iraq and of the Bush administration...
Maybe at some point he'll find cause to sue his own self. Note it never occured to him to either: a) not run, or b) decline the post.
Since he at one point must have been an intelligent man, it might be that senility has rendered him incapable of distinguishing between an entire system of government and a single administration.
"Dalack said if he reads the oath, he would be a blind supporter of the war in Iraq and of the Bush administration..."
Cut the guy a break, he's blind.
