Oafs Of Office
Last week in Annapolis at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin , professor of law at American University, was requested to testify. He did so.
At the end of his testimony, a right-wing senator said: “As I read Biblical principles, marriage was intended, ordained and started by God — that is my belief. For me, this is an issue solely based on religious principals.”
Raskin: “People place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution; they don’t put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.”

I saw that quote on another blog. It’s a great sentiment. I wish more politicians took their oath and obligation to the Constitution more seriously.
It’s completely preposterous that a Senator would be able to say that. It’s a sign of the times we’re in. It’s open season on sinners.
“For me, this is an issue solely based on religious principals.” That says it all. Separation of Church and State!!!!
