perhaps you would like to answer the unspoken question there:

What is the exact legal definition of the US Federal Judge’s oath to defend the Constitution?

I can tell you that it doesn’t mean that they have to rule in a manner that pleases every bush lawyer and Internet crank out there.

A small handful of folks with minimal legal training or knowledge disagree with judge Thomas? That really doesn’t surprise or alarm me.

Have you considered that with any judge and any decision there will always be some folks who think the judge or decision is wrong?

FWIW - According to Title 28, Chapter I, Part 453 of the United States Code, each Supreme Court Justice takes the following oath:

“I, [NAME], 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 [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

If comment #58 is true, Justice Thomas defines it as, "Get out of my face, Orly."
