My very first real job was at Texas Instruments and in order to work there with any sort of security clearance you had to take an oath with pretty much this same wording.

Gesture politics are generally the kind of stupidy Democrats engage in. I suggest AZ move to a part time legislature with part time pay. These folks clearly don’t have enough real work to do.

You assume everyone wishes to defend the Constitution, which isn’t in evidence.

Which version of the Constituiton are you talking about concerning people not wanting to defend it? Are you talking about the Constitutution as the Founding States had intended for it to be understood, the version which reflects the Founders' division of federal and state government powers, but which few people seem to be aware of these days?

Or are you talking about the street version of the Constitution that radical professors teach, the version which promotes the unconconstitutional centralization of government power in DC?

I don’t think it should be implemented- but what a fascinating debate it will start. :)

People should line up and show their intentions for public education. Let everyone see what we are paying for.

Oaths must be freely given to have any meaning. This is just stupid.

I would propose that they actually teach courses on the constitution in schools.

The REAL way, too...not the PC way.

Is this even legal or constitutional?

No, it's neither.

The Oath is an oath of service for political offices and officers, NOT something that can be forced upon the natural citizens at large.

In addition, an Oath taken under duress [unwillingly] cannot be considered legally binding.

In a nutshell, this bill is just political noise to appear as if someone is doing something to stop the wave of progressive pestilence that's sweeping this country.
