John Brennan Sworn in as CIA Director Using Constitution Lacking Bill of Rights, the copy of The Constitution used was a first draft with notes from George Washington, dating to 1787. The Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791.
I really don’t mean to be an asshole about this. But these vows always carry a great deal of symbolism. And whether he meant to invoke this symbolism or not, the moment at which Brennan took over the CIA happened to exclude (in symbolic form, though presumably not legally) the key limits on governmental power that protect American citizens.
