 Wow! Now that sounds *truly* bizarre! Out of curiosity, when did the
aforementioned "constitutional and legal provision" come into effect?
And does anyone know of any precedents set re: such an oath. (ex:
someone refusing to sign, someone charged with breaking his or her
word because s/he failed to "support, defend," blah blah the two
constitutions? Just amazed and wondering...
