Somehow vowing to uphold the Constitution means something different to the leftist justices.

Liberals view the Constitution as meaning what they say it means, as confirmed by prior (liberal) Supreme Court precedents. Defending the Constitution in this view means defending those prior Supreme Court precedents. As time passes, they think that the Supreme Court can only get more progressive. This is the one way liberal ratchet. Why? Because they think that the long arc of history bends their way.

Like all leftists, their “country” is the deep state and the Constitution is a “living document” whose meaning is to be twisted into the situational ethics which would advance the interests of their country.

A fundamental thesis of Progressive ideology is the Constitution restricts government power too much. Therefore, ways have to be found to “work around” the limitations imposed by the Constitution.

So, to leftist judges, a major part of their job is to figure out ways to “get around” the limitations of the Constitution.

In other words, the Constitution is Unconstitutional. According to the left.
