Tennessee's constitutional oath of office and statutory violations for failing to keep it
Tennessee’s constitution requires that elected officials, including the governor, the legislators, judges and local officials take an oath of office. That oath imposes on these individuals an affirmative duty to protect and defend the rights of individuals as protected by the constitutions of the state or the United States. Those rights include the rights that are recognized by the constitution and subject to the 2nd Amendment’s “shall not be infringed” mandate.
Tennessee law also makes it a Class E felony for a public official to engage in “official oppression”. Richard Archie discusses how elected officials who knowingly or intentionally breach their oath of office, perhaps by infringing your rights as protected by the 2nd Amendment, may be subject to criminal prosecution. If that is true, why is it that the state’s district attorneys and/or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation seem to never investigate this felony?
