15. Oath to defend and protect the Constitution ...

When I talk about people who have made that oath standing up to fulfil it being the only ones that can save the day now, I am talking about the civil service as much or more than the military.

Especially with the idiots Trump seems determined to appoint to lead the executive branch, it will take the passive and active resistance of the career government workers to stop their worst excesses and folly, and some may lose their jobs. As disheartening as I imagine it will be in Trump's administration, many people may be looking to leave government service anyway. I hope they will do some good for the nation on their way out.

Good luck to them all.
