Apparently the Oath of Office for members of congress doesn't mean anything

Every member of Congress in the United States swears an official oath when they are elected. Among other things, and primarily, the person takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. After all, the Constitution regulates and limits what the Congress in particular, and the United States government in general, can and cannot do.

Apparently this oath is completely empty and means absolutely nothing. Why? Because apparently there are no consequences of any kind if this oath is broken.

In recent months several congress representatives of the Democratic Party have directly, unambiguously and blatantly advocated for egregious violations of the Constitution, especially the First Amendment.

Some months ago several members of congress not only criticized and condemned Tucker Carlson for having published leaked footage of the January 6th so-called "insurrection" (the footage showing that the narrative about it just doesn't hold up), but outright called for consequences to Carlson for doing this, and for Fox News to censor him and to fire him from his position.

Recently CNN broadcasted a so-called "Town Hall", where a CNN reporter interviewed Donald Trump about his upcoming run for President. (I'm actually genuinely surprised that CNN, of all possible news networks, did this. I supposed they assumed that they would just shame and ridicule Trump and make him look like a complete fool. Instead, Trump handled it like a complete boss, to the cheers and applause of the live audience, and to the chagrin of both CNN and all leftists alike.)

And what do you know, several Democrat members of Congress, especially one Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, admonished CNN for doing this and directly and unambiguously called for censorship and for such "platforms" to be denied to Trump.

And these are just two of the most blatant and egregious examples. There are many more.

These are direct violations of the freedom of speech and freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment. These members of Congress took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, very much including the First Amendment, and thus them directly and unambiguously calling for censorship and for consequences for the exercise of freedom of speech and freedom of the press is in direct violation of this oath, and a direct violation of the Constitution.

And may I remind: The Constitution of the United States explicitly exists to mandate what the government, especially Congress, can and cannot do. In other words, the First Amendment is explicitly telling members of Congress that they cannot limit people's freedom of speech and freedom of the press. It's a very egregious violation of the Constitution for them to do so, or for them to even advocate doing so.

And what are the consequences to these members of congress for violating both the Constitution and their Oath of office?

Nothing, of course.

Absolutely and utterly nothing. Nada. They aren't even so much as criticized by other members of congress, or the judiciary branch of the government (which is supposed to make sure that the other branches of government do not break the law), or anybody, much less investigated or prosecuted for this.

Apparently the Oath of Office for members of Congress means absolutely nothing. It's empty words. Violating this oath has zero consequences.
