The US Senators' oath of office--how many will break it?

Oath of Office for US Senator

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

they don't think twice about breaking such things.

I used to think that there were some decent people who were Republicans for various reasons.

I know now that is not true.
