The supreme oath

LaBelle sends this story via Atrios:
Many stood and applauded former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore as he walked to the stage to administer the oath to [new associate judge Tom] Parker. Moore's action was ceremonial, since Parker took his formal oath of office Thursday before U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in Washington. Parker said Thomas told him a judge should be evaluated by whether he faithfully upholds his oath to God, not to the people, to the state or to the Constitution.

Shouldn't that be grounds for impeaching Thomas? Let me rephrase that. If that's not grounds for impeachment, it should be.
