To the military my words to you are the following:
“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.” - Julius Caesar
"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." - Abraham Lincoln
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself." - Marcus Tullius Cicero
"There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right." - Marcus Tullius Cicero
Your oath says you will protect the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We have domestic enemies who have perverted the constitution. They are our enemies. Do not hide behind your oath as the reason for your inaction for there is no justice or righteousness in inaction when the country is threatened. You must act to defend the republic against its enemies and that may require breaking the law or the appearance of breaking your oath.
