“. . . I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. . ."

4. How do you think that applies

especially to the now?

I thought that the oath that I took for Federal employment was pretty dishonest.

The oath said "I am under no compulsion to take this oath."

I was thinking. Okay, if that is true, then I will not take it. I figured that if I said that, then I would NOT have a job.

Well that, right there, is a pretty darned strong compulsion is it not? But I was supposed to claim it was not there.

Anyway, here is the text of the whole thing. I do not see how you are applying this clause, or what you are taking to be clear violations.

I mean, would it NOT be considered "defending the Constitution" to do everything in your power to prevent a person from getting on SCOTUS who thinks that position entitles him/her to re-write the Constitution?
