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!!!!
