Subject: SLS: Oath of office.
Ask specifically for the Appointment Affidavit,
an OMB-approved form. Then read "Karma and the
Federal Courts" in the Supreme Law Library,
for advice on how to proceed after that.

p.s. Be sure to request a certified copy of
the oath of office. Uncertified documents
may not be admissible.
