A federal bureaucracy is slowly usurping The United States Constitution and has been doing so for years. Does this part (that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;) of The Oath of Allegiance still apply?

1. Tread Not On Me
Peace be to you, peace be to me, I hear what you spew, but you don’t believe
in freedom to love, freedom to live, the freedom that only God can give
The mass graves of your disease can be found in world history
Destroy my will, for power you kill
With your chains of deceit, you live to shackle me
Our rivers and streams bleed over their banks,
from these crimson waters we give thanks
To the heroes and brave, fallen and maimed
To squander their blood is your aim
Train your guns on me, string me up in the square
The cost of liberty is the thousand yard stare
Slay this body of mine, there’s a few million you missed
When you dream tonight, hear our hiss
Tread not on me or her or him
We’re not looking for war but the weak we’ll defend
As you walk the oaks, from seeds sown moons ago
Hear the whispers from the least of us and know
We want freedom from your tyranny
Our blood feeds the roots of liberty
You can strike me dead and turn a deaf ear
Your toll is the one thing that I fear
My country has been stripped and stolen
Can’t see through these lids that are now swollen
Bruised and beaten, dragged and whipped
You’ll soon feel the fangs of this venomous pit
