Not a protector of the Constitution?
Perhaps both of these senators should read the oath they took the last time they were re-elected. They swore to "support and defend" the Constitution. A US senator swears the following oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
