I do love quoting rightie nut jobs, actually I enjoy finding quotes from any nut jobs - right, left or just those too woo-minded to be categorised as left or right.
from the ever reliable World News Daily, a 2006 essay by Senate candidate Roy Moore
11 years later and it seems Representative Ellison has done his job as a representative of the people in his district - they have re-elected him four times.
Roy Moore, now as a Senate candidate, is trying to deny he ever thought Keith Ellison was ineligible for Congress. Moore, who said Muslim shouldn't serve, now opposes 'religious test'. If you think Muslims should be prohibited from holding office, as Moore plainly stated, that is, quite obviously, a religious test that is forbidden by the Constitution.
When the President nominates for the federal bench, people who have said/written that the Bible precedes US law and the Constitution or argued that sanctioning same-sex marriage would lead to polygamy and bestiality one might begin to wonder about who he is relying upon for suggestions.
The Bible over Constitution lady was confirmed to the 7th Circuit bench by a 55-43 vote and he is under consideration.

MUSLIM ELLISON SHOULD NOT SIT IN CONGRESS
Last month Keith (Hakim Mohammad) Ellison of Minnesota became the first Muslim elected to serve in the United States Congress and shocked many Americans by declaring that he would take his oath of office by placing his hand on the Quran rather than the Bible. Can a true believer in the Islamic doctrine found in the Quran swear allegiance to our Constitution? Those who profess a sincere belief in Allah say “no!”
(. . .)
Our Constitution states, “Each House [of Congress] shall be the judge … of the qualifications of its own members.” Enough evidence exists for Congress to question Ellison’s qualifications to be a member of Congress as well as his commitment to the Constitution in view of his apparent determination to embrace the Quran and an Islamic philosophy directly contrary to the principles of the Constitution. But common sense alone dictates that in the midst of a war with Islamic terrorists we should not place someone in a position of great power who shares their doctrine. In 1943, we would never have allowed a member of Congress to take their oath on “Mein Kampf,” or someone in the 1950s to swear allegiance to the “Communist Manifesto.” Congress has the authority and should act to prohibit Ellison from taking the congressional oath today!
