28 U.S.C. § 453. Oaths of justices and judges:
Each justice or judge of the United States shall take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of his office: “I, XXX XXX, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as XXX under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”
I would note that it is possible that the particular judge chose to affirm rather than swear, in which case the "So help me god" would most likely not be said. Wouldn't know without access to the exact oath undertaken by the judge.
Thanks drungus. I thought there was God in his oath somewhere. Do you think the oath he took is unconstitutional?
