At a hearing in Annapolis on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to
prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at American
University’s Washington College of Law who lives in Montgomery County with
his wife and three children, was requested to testify. At the end of his
testimony, 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?”

Raskin replied: “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.
