The Job

Last week, Anthony Scaramucci told CNN that, "[t]here are people inside the administration that think it is their job to save America from this President. That is not their job." Now, I can understand why he believes this.  Since he wasn't hired during the transition, he wasn't invited to attend this:


That's C-SPAN footage of the entire White House senior staff contingent on January 22nd, swearing an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

So let's be clear: saving America from this President is exactly the job that Administration members signed on for.  And it is for their effectiveness in doing that job that history will -- and should -- judge them.
