Loony celebs pledge to defend US Constitution in yet another ‘thinly-veiled’ attack on Trump

We regret to inform you that celebrities are once again filming themselves making a political statement.

This time, Jamie Lee Curtis, Robert De Niro and others are publicly pledging allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. While this would normally be considered a normal, even conservative thing to do, critics argue this is just another in a long line of performative nonsense from anti-Trump celebrities.

Watch:

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That I will continue to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion,” they say. “I am proud to affirm my oath to the Constitution, and I hope you will too.”

The video then fades to an advertisement for The Oath Project, developed by the American Constitution Society. Their website’s About Us page explains who they are.

Mission
Our mission is to support and advocate for laws and legal systems that redress the founding failures of our Constitution, strengthen our democratic legitimacy, uphold the rule of law, and realize the promise of equality for all, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and other historically excluded communities.

Vision
We envision a multi-racial, representative democracy that includes:

  • A judiciary that reflects the diversity of the public it serves, vindicates fundamental freedoms, protects democratic guardrails, upholds the rule of law, and interprets the U.S. Constitution through the lens of history and lived experience;
  • Democratic institutions that advance equity and justice, uphold the rule of law, and guard against the abuse of power; and
  • A robust and diverse legal civil society that actively promotes progressive legal transformation and redress of the founding failures of our Constitution and of our laws and legal systems.
