This one's a little different. It comes with a recent scenario (so it's not that "random" after all.....)
<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>
On March 1st, 2006 in Annapolis, Maryland at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit civil marriage equality, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at American University, was requested to testify before the Maryland State Senate. He did so.
At the end of his testimony, a highly reactionary Senator Nancy Jacobs ( R ) asked:
"Mr Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man & a woman. What do you have to say about that?"
Raskin replied:
"Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn't place your hand on the Constitution and swore to uphold the Bible."
The room erupted into applause.
