I'd rather he uphold the constitution rather than some implicit "security professional agreement".

All government workers must swear an oath to uphold the constitution. Snowden is an inspiration in that he did just that.

Splitter hairs, but wasn't he a contractor with Booz Allen Hamilton, and not a civil servant? I don't think support service contractors swear an oath.

"Upholding" the Constitution is not his job. Leave that to the courts.
