Today President Bush traveled to Omaha, Nebraska to talk about immigration. He first went to the Juan Diego Center, where immigrants learn English in preparation to becomming citizens, he then went to the South Omaha Campus of Metropolitan Community College to discuss immigration reform before heading back to Washington in order to participate in the swearing in ceremony for incoming Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne
QUOTE OF THE DAY: JUSTICE SCALIA: (at the swearing in ceremont of Sec. of Interior, Dirk Kempthorne) ......It's my custom when I swear somebody in to say a few words about the oath you're about to hear. It is not a ceremonial occasion, it is a constitutional requirement. Article 6, Section 3 requires all -- members of all three branches of the federal government, of the state governments, to be sworn by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.
And the very first statute ever enacted by the Congress was 1, Stat 1, which was a form of oath. It was much simpler than the one you will hear today. It was just -- it was a simpler age, I guess -- I swear to support the Constitution of the United States. George Washington added at the end of it, "So help me God," and that has become the tradition. But the oath you'll hear today was signed by Abraham Lincoln, about two months before the battle of Antietam, and you can smell the Civil War in its addition to the simple, "I will support the United States Constitution."
ENJOY YOUR VISIT TO SANITY ISLAND!
