Your comparison is total bullshit.
MLK did not take an oath of office "to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Those who take such an oath have a legal and moral obligation that is above and beyond their rights as private citizens to participate in passive resistance to laws they believe are unjust....particularly if that resistance results (by intent or otherwise) in enhancing their own power as an elected official.

I am betting she will be more aggressive assuming Executive power than Bush and certainly more aggressive than Bill Clinton.

As I responded earlier with a
link to her responses to questions on executive power, you have no basis for this. IMO, its a cheap excuse to rationalize Bush's immoral, unethical and in some cases, illegal behavior.
