What oath does the SS take when they are placed into

[lala_rawraw]

Their roles and who exactly pays their salary? I assume, we pay their salaries, but I would like to see the statement of what they swear to do, uphold, etc. Can someone post?

1. They can be compelled to testify--and were, by Ken Starr:

2. No no, I mean what is the oath

They take to uphold in their capacity/role? Constitution? Or just an oath to the executive branch of office?

3. They're under the rule of the Treasury Department.

So that's how they get paid. I have no idea what oath they may take.

4. All government employees who take an oath

take the same one-to support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

5. Have anyone of you seen this ( Secret Service )

Bush Parties While Engaging in Racial Profiling
by Congressman John Conyers


Sun May 1st, 2005 at 12:57:13 CST

Last night, while the president, the first lady, and assorted establishment types yukked it up, his own administration continued to engage in the discredited tactic of racial profiling to condcut law enforcement. I was amazed, but perhaps not surprised, to learn that even the White House press corps -- although perhaps not Jeff Gannon --need to provide racial information in order to obtain access to the president.
According to Friday's Washington Post, the Secret Service claims the information is needed to "allow for quicker and more accurate searches of criminal databases." Ironically, this is the same president who in his first address to congress declared that "racial profiling is wrong and we will end it in America." I guess we didn't understand that "end it" meant use it more than its never been used before. Rep. Nadler and I dished off a letter to the Secret Service (text below), asking them to explain and justify these race based police tactics. We'll say what they have to say.
