Interesting. I don't know about Oregon either, haven't checked, but we Washingtonians have something of a contrary anti-fed history. Our state constitution provides more individual protections than the federal one, but nobody is required to swear to support it except political officers, judges, and lawyers.
That California provision is interesting because it deals with grand jurors (who, of course, bring indictments). I wonder if you know whether petit jurors are also given a similar oath.
