Shows what bullshit oaths are. Their only value is to provide a reason for prosecution if violated, but no one ever gets prosecuted, so there's no point.

In this case, Mr Joyce's own oath to protect the Constitution apparently does not conflict with the stated purpose of someone to overturn the Constitution. Utter stuff and nonsense.
