Heard at a Maryland hearing regarding gay marriage:
Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs said: “Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?”
Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU: Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.
The room erupted with applause. — Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU.
