Its a dirty world. Against a depotic government, you use what works. If they are not sticking to the constitution, im not going to let their little legalistic “oath” slow me down.

Well, just don't play like you're any better than they are then. You're just embracing a different version of "the Constitution doesn't work in my circumstances, therefore I'll ignore it."

We demand that others--judges, liberals, etc.--uphold the Constitution even when they don't like it, even when it goes against what they personally believe. Why do we expect less from ourselves?

The Constitution is whats sacred. Not an illegal oath to a judge.

Illegal? How? What law does that oath violate?

And, last I checked, the oath is in God's name, not the judge's.

And such an oath is not sacred? Maybe in your universe.

Anything I raise my right hand to and swear "so help me God" is an absolute, binding responsibility to me from then on.

If you have any honesty left over, mention to the judge that you don't consider your sworn oath to be binding.

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land. Any judicial decree which would be contrary to the Constitution is void.

BTW, I would love to see a lawyer question jurors "Will you regard the text of the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land, all other statutes and judicial decrees notwithstanding?" I'm sure most judges would fabricate some excuse to cite such a lawyer for contempt, but I see no way such a question would not be legitimate without acknowledging a desire for jurors to act illegitimately (contrary to the Constitution).
