SWISS? MISS (via David Hill, The Bronx):

ACLU Sues to Let Muslim Scholar Enter U.S. (LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press )

The American Civil Liberties Union sued the U.S. government Wednesday for preventing a Muslim scholar from entering the country, arguing that the government was using anti-terrorism laws as "instruments of censorship."

The lawsuit asks the court to find a provision of the Patriot Act unconstitutional and seeks clearance for Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss intellectual and Muslim scholar, to accept invitations to speak in the United States.
For supposed constitutional experts, the ACLU folk sure have a hard time figuring out who it applies to.
