Tomas agreed with the oath. But he could've agreed with it a lot more, if it had been given in Stormcloak controlled Skyrim. Not in Imperial lands. Wasn't it painfully obviously over here how oppressive the Empire was? He'd experience that oppression his whole life, and now he saw it wasn't going to change any time soon. Regardless, he still said the oath:

"I am a servant of the people.   On my own accord I declare my life is not my own. I will give my mind, my strength, and my heart to the service of the government so long as the government serves the interest of the people. With justice as my strength, I will protect the freedoms and liberties to which my people have a right. My life is not my own. I am a servant of the people." But for his own reasons. Because he wholely believed in it. Not because the Empire wanted him to say it.

Darach smiled and shook his head in youthful arrogance, but spoke the oath all the same, lagging behind everyone else by a second or two.

Artair sort of droned the oath, not really caring for it, but he spoke it all the same.
