If candidates Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ben Carson are ready to defy U.S. law and the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of “God’s rules” or a “higher law” (“Dana Milbank: Republican presidential candidates’ rhetoric may be driving Oregon extremists,” Jan. 7), we in this country are in deep turkey feathers indeed.

How could any of these people, if the U.S. electorate were ultimately so foolish as to endorse them, ever take the oath of office and swear to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”?
