Another great quote (source not confirmed)

[DemoTex]

This came to me via a friend --

Yesterday in Annapolis at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, was requested to testify.

He did so. At the end of his testimony, a right-wing senator said: "Mr.
Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do
you have to say about that?"

Raskin: "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 into applause.

He's running for Maryland State Senate....I think.

Does anyone in Maryland know if this was actually said? Sounds too good to be true.

2. Oh, man, that is a GREAT quote!

And it doesn't even matter if it was actually spoken or not.

It's a quote that can be used to shoot down SO MANY of the present positions held by this Administration, and the Republican party!

Thanks!!!

Edited to say: Check out my new sig line!!!
