      They are arguing that the oath doesn’t include the word “support” not that he didn’t take the oath. Not saying it’s a good argument but that’s what they are actually arguing.

      “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

      Emphasis mine.

        The judge also found that the “Office of President of the United States” was not an office of the United States… so yeah…
