I am still unclear whether all justices, on assuming office, use the identically same oath... Does anyone know? If it is the same one, does anyone know the exact words that the oath contains?Section 3331 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code requires high-ranking officers, including Supreme Court justices, to take this oath: "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."

YES! (impeached, fired, whatever). I don't want to sound like a fool because I am not an authority on this, but common sense tells me that any judge making decisions for U.S. citizens, should relay only and exclusively on U.S. law.
Anyone deviating from this simple principle should be fired. This is so clear and simple in my mind, that I actully understand it. :)
