At risk of getting "war on Xmas" type responses, why do we use terms like "So help me God" as part of swearing in? They are not becoming Bishops, they are swearing to serve in government and defend the office and Constitution. Is that not the higher authority, and the people themselves, to whom they are accountable? Or are they supposed to only abide by their oath for fear that God will punish them?

Separation of Church and State aside (which is equally good reason for not doing this), this seems to be totally illogical and antithetical to the purpose of the swearing in. It in fact seems to justify the breaking or diminishing of the laws of man, or the laws of the land to which they are being sworn to serve, and instead ascribing their REAL responsibility to serving the laws of God (whose God, which faith?).

How about instead they do the job of serving the people and protecting the Constitution rather than serving religion, self-interest, money, or party over country, and swear to resign office if they violate this oath?
Amen, brother.

Well here's a BOMB... The old SF Bay Guardian was right all these years. $30 billion in liabilities, wasn't really do the job. I wonder how it survives or does it become a public entity like LA Power and Water?

I dunno, Melanie needs a new cause that's less comically ruined from the jump by her husband. Maybe a monogamy campaign might be more effective.
