 | | The oath proposed was in addition to the oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California which was required of all officers of the state. | | | On the one hand, there was the issue of Communism and loyalty; on the other, the issue of the infringement of tenure implied in the imposition upon everyone of an oath of disclaimer: "I am not...". | | | In this case and two related ones, the Supreme Court ruled against the petitioners, and the oath required by the Levering Act is still attached to employment contracts of University employees. |

| | Loyalty oaths have generated a rich lode of court opinions, none of them from Nevada. | | | State legislators might be reluctant to seek to repeal the oath for fear of 30-second television spots questioning their loyalty, so a court challenge is probably the more fruitful route to change. | | | In a 1971 case, the Court held that a similar oath requirement on its face raised serious constitutional questions. |

| | The oath, then, is not a promise (or threat) of a future act of State power, it is itself the act of State power. | | | Although the oath has been a constitutional requirement for over 140 years, however, this is the first time I’ve been asked to take it, despite having signed (and fulfilled) 7 contracts with the school before today. | | | Finally, the Court found that the Washington oath, which left all too vague what actions might be considered loyal or disloyal, placed upon teachers and professors a burden which would restrict their First Amendment right to freedom of speech (and, by extension, academic freedom). |

| | Resist the State Oath of Allegiance |
| | Finally, it seems to me a matter of logic that the Oath is self-contradictory in that it is inconsistent with numerous "inalienable" rights expressly guaranteed in both the California and United States Constitutions. | | | The converse---that citizens be granted full rights only by proclaiming loyalty to state power---is, I think it is clear, diametrically opposed to the whole of the democratic tradition. | | | Nonetheless, in my opinion the Oath contradicts itself in its own terms as it cannot be consistent with rights explicitly guaranteed by both constitutions which it apparently seeks to protect. |
