Wow. That is some scary insane info. How can a judge even take the bench without taking the oath first?
Hey, on that note: could this be why we've seen every PDJT high-level appointee being sworn in on TV at the White House? I don't recall seeing so many such ceremonies under past presidents. (SCOTUS justices, sure.)
Just wondering if there's a message being sent here, similar to the many executive orders being signed live in front of the media, to prove that there's no autopen involved...

All aspects are not known, but states have been monkeying with oath details, requirements, and enforcement (or lack thereof) since 1989. Typically, a signed and notarized oath is required to be submitted and on file to be “properly executed”, especially where a bond is required (issued by insurance to cover public official malfeasance). I suspect that they rolled back bond requirements via fuckery, and then just failed to enforce oaths.
Note that removal of oaths is a KEY tenet of the Communist Manifesto (bullet point #7?).
