:During his swearing in ceremony in early January 2007, Ellison replaced the Bible with a the Quran and then took his oath of duty with one hand placed on the Quran.
This was debunked, or at least is misleading. The real swearing-in ceremony was done en masse, with no books. He later restated the oath with a Quran, which I suppose he characterized as a "ceremony," but it had no official weight or meaning. He did not replace the Bible with the Quran, because there was no Bible present or expected for him to replace at his personal "ceremony."--[[User:All Fish Welcome|All Fish Welcome]] 03:14, 15 April 2007 (EDT)
