When I went in the Army, when I went into a civil service position, when I was made an officer of the Superior Court, when I was elected to a local office, I had to take the same oath that is given to the President. The oath was "To preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies foreign and domestic." This being a government of laws rather than individuals, the Constitution comes first. Is the oath still the same? I've heard disturbing rumors that it has been altered.

my husband is in the fed govt.
He mentioned within the last week that the oath he took a few months ago ( when he changed departments) is the same he first took over 30 years ago.

The oath IS the same... The courts do not defend it like they once use to

No, it's still the same. Some would appear not to be abiding by the oath, although.

Still the same.

I wouldn't doubt it, with all the liberals. It probably says something like, "all enemies who I personally don't like."
I hear that a military recruit can give a 'time out' to his seargant, if he thinks he is being to hard on him.
