That word is NOT in their Oath of Office. Only "support" and "defend" are. SC Justices have no authority whatsoever to alter the Constitution. Only a Ratified Amendment can do so. For reference, see the 19th and 26th Amendments.
You are very confused.
And AGAIN: no one has said anything about altering anything. Are you really not getting it, or just pretending to not get it?
Supreme Court Duties=Interpret/uphold/enforce etc the Constitution.
The Judicial Oath
“I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _________ under the Constitution and laws of the United States.
You are very confused. [/quotr]No, I am not. I even gave you specific examples of how the Constitution can be altered, the 19th and 26th Amendments. Note how they were NOT altered via the SC.
And AGAIN: no one has said anything about altering anything.
Attempting to alter "shall not be infringed" requires a new Constitutional Amendment, just like the 19th and 26th alter Constitutional voting Rights.

I don't see "interpret" anywhere in there. Because it isn't.
The truth is that there ain't no such thing as an assault weapon. As far as I know, there has never been ONE firearms manufacturer to offer a firearm under the rubric of 'assault weapon.' If no assault weapons have ever been made, none have ever existed.
I hope the poster who used that term comes back to contest my post. But they never seem to do that. They post, and bug out.

An assault rifle is a term the military uses. It’s a weapon the military uses that has select fire capabilities to switch between semi-auto or fully automatic mode. The AR-15s available to citizens do not have this capability.
you all need a history lesson. the term assault rifle, AKA sturmgewehr, was coined by hitler in 1944;

Then how did the Supreme Court get Korematsu v. US so wrong?
They reviewed the case, and interpreted the Constitution and ruled the EO Constitutional. That's how. Whether or not they got it right does not change their duties.

Infringing upon the people's right to keep and bear arms in any way is altering it.
I only tried to explain you what the duties of the SC are. Didn't say anything about the 2A. You are stuck in a loop. Take a break.
