Unfortunately, he apparently doesn’t have time to read the Constitution during breaks from Supreme Court cases, because he reportedly thinks an “oath to God” is more important to a judge or justice than an oath to uphold the Constitution.
So, Clarence, if we put a black turban on you, you could pose as a Christian version of an Iranian mullah. And, we'll just ignore that little old First Amendment.
Oh, besides the First Amendment, let's not forget Article VI of the Constitution:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;(Emphasis added.)
but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
