∙ 14y ago
All federal officials, including US Supreme Court justices, must take an oath promising to uphold the US Constitution.
The Constitution Oath, mandated by Article VI, Section 3 of the Constitution and by 5 USC § 3331 (federal law), is sworn by all federal employees except the President:
"I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
US Supreme Court justices also take a Judicial Oath of Office.
