On Law Day, May 1st, we invite you to retake your Attorney's Oath.

On Law Day, May 1st, we invite you to retake your Attorney's Oath. We each took this pledge upon admission to the bar. The oath is the cornerstone of our profession, and it represents our promise to support the Constitution of the United States. It encompasses a duty to defend the Constitution, protect constitutional rights, ensure due process, and oppose laws or actions that undermine it. By retaking the oath, you reiterate your role as a guardian of the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law.

1. Okay, so I'm not a lawyer

but why on god's green earth would retaking an oath make any sense? Does it expire after so many years? Are there new clauses you need to know?

I thought taking an oath was strictly a one-time thing. Not, say, like prayers that have to be said over and over because you never know if a capricious god will even listen, let alone grant a prayer.

2. If you read the post, it's a call for solidarity among lawyers in the coming fight against Trump's fascist state.

3. It may be a catalyst. Just reading the oaths

is a gut check of whether you and/or your colleagues still remember what you committed to, and whether you are still living up to it. Sorta like renewing your wedding vows.

Of course it also illustrates the gap between the oaths and the behavior of the stable genius’s attorneys.
