Let me remind those of you out there in uniform, who would dare enforce unconstitutional laws, or who would carry out other types of unlawful orders, in direct violation of your Sacred Oath to defend the Constitution, that "I didn't have a choice" and "I was just following orders" were among the two most popular defenses offered by the Nazis at Nuremberg before each one was summarily hung. Let's not forget either that everything Hitler did in Germany was "perfectly legal, " and that's exactly what every Nazi (National Socialist) confidently assured anyone who would listen just before he swung from the gallows at the Palace of Justice.
