I just spent a few minutes on Nexis reviewing coverage of the recent Oath of Allegiance controversy, drummed up in part by NRO. In an Associated Press story (sorry, no link–Nexis ain’t free), Tim Edgar of the ACLU had this to say: “I think some are confused about this new oath, maybe trying to invent controversy for the purpose of casting doubt on the loyalty of new Americans and on the dedication of the immigration service, and I think that’s a shame.” What a despicable comment–a gross ad hominem attack on people like Lamar Alexander, who have expressed a sincere concern about a bureaucratic revision to an important statement. The shame is all yours, Mr. Edgar.
