Regarding Rep. Ellison

Heard this: The first Muslim elected to Congress wants to swear in on the Qu'ran. "Oh no, absolutely not!" a few morons shout, and they hatch plans to stop him. The funny thing is: The Constitution has already weighed in on that.

From Article Six:

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, under the United States.

Sad to say that Rep. Goode represents my district of the Commonwealth.... sadder to say that the people here will probably re-elect him in 2008....
