> After his testimony during a hearing on Maryland's proposed  
> constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, a law  
> professor at American University, was asked, "Mr. Raskin, my Bible  
> says that marriage shall occur 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."
>
> Idaho's legislators voted for theocracy, not democracy. Our  
> founding fathers must be whirling in their graves.
