When she was sworn in (signed contract or however it goes down), does the oath (or paperwork) include upholding the constitution as it stands at that time, or does it go so far as to have them agree to uphold future amendments/decisions/interpretations ?
Again, I don't know anything about it and wondered if this is where she intended on having some ground.
I'm going with she goes with whatever the constitution says at any time. So if the constitution were amended to say gay marriage is legal, then she upholds that. Otherwise no current government employee who takes an oath would have to respect any amendments to the Constitution.
