Greetings..

i can't say (as of this writing) whether it is in florida, "legit" or not.. My experience here in pennsylvania is that (far too oft) those that are charged with taking a "proscribed" oath, fail to do so, miserably.

As to "judges"in this state, pursuant to, Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. title 42 § 3151 "Each judicial officer shall, before entering on the duties of his office, take and subscribe to the following oath or affirmation before a person authorized to administer oaths."
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defned te Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Commonwealth and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity."
It further states , " Any person refusing to take the oath or affirmation shall forfeit his office. A judicial officer shall be sworn upon his appointment or election, and thereafter need not be sworn in any matter referred to him."

Now these.. in some instances appear to be "missing" from the appropriate locale which is suppose to hold such records. Moreover, as these oaths relate to county row officers &/or the sheriff's, prothonotories & alike, they (here) are suppose to take in addition to the Constitutional oath a specific county oath, which, in my research is almost always woefully (&/or intentionally) neglected.

Having brought this up in prior actions, they have been minimalized by terms such as "hypertechnical frivolty", which.. now has me preparing(after i take care of some other more pending issues) a writ of mandamus, to "command" their performance. Having then done so, it seems appropriate to then file a motion to void their prior actions, having thus acknowledged by post-compliance, they were in err of their incipient obligations. Not sure how this will play out, as like most things i find myself doing,. it is in the realm of uncharted waters.

i believe that failure to perform as required, may be a way to avoid "treason" as it wouldst be tantamount thereafter (by their wanton actions) to "aiding and abetting the enemy"

additionally, it is my thought(s) that failure to perform shouldst immediately void the contract( & their holding of said office) for lack of consideration, in that, the "people tender an offer, by election, subject to a performance afore taking office. The consideration ( i believe) is in that performance.

Anyways. sorry..if my diatribe doesnt help you... just wanted to tender a thought or two about it.. as always, i welcome any & all suggestions appertaining to this. or any posting i may do..& i thank you for allowing me to share..in your forum(s)

peace be with ye
