What about "doctors, lawyers, clergymen, etc.?" What is your point? As far as I know only doctors swear to the Hippocratic oath. I'm not aware of any requirement for lawyers or clergy to swear to an oath.

And your bringing up "doctors, lawyers, clergymen, etc." is totally off topic and irrelevant. It has absolutely nothing to do with congress persons swearing an oath to the Constitution and my argument they are violating that oath by swearing an oath to Norquist. NOTHING at all. Keep trying to change the subject but I won't let you.
