There are lots of neat authorities on the oath. I just found this little gem from Hawaii: "A district judge is bound by oath of office to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Hawaii; rule excluding illegally seized evidence falls within scope of such oath as such rule is a sanction essential to upholding federal and state constitutional safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures. State v. Wilson, 519 P.2d 228 cited in American Digest System, Eighth Decennial Digest, "Judges," p 969, Section 5: "Qualifications" so, the oath is like an on-off light switch, which activates ALL the guarantees of both the federal and state constitutions. See also the 9th and 10th amendments: our Rights are not enumerated, federal powers are.
