So glad you chimed in here! Based on your legal expertise, are oaths of office legally binding or not? If so, how? If so, what mechanisms need to play out so our Constitutional Republic can be rid of anarchists and advocates for civilization’s self destruction?

I think it could be, if there were an enforcement mechanism, either civil, or criminal. Otherwise, it's just another political decision, or between the sworn and the Almighty. It's left to one's sacred honor, and for history to judge mainly. We have laws to enforce many things, but those for public officers tend not to get enforced. Remember, its a crime for a citizen to lie to government officials, but not criminal for government officials to lie to American citizens. The problem with keeping oaths of office is a related issue.

Is this what we call justice?

If what you say in your last sentence is true, then “no one is above the law” is a patently false statement.
