Gay Marriage

I'm not one who is for or against gay marriage. I find the debate interesting and I often wonder when people became confused about the laws of this country. Jamie Raskin took the issue head on...

"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 swear to uphold the Bible." -Jamie Raskin, testifying Wednesday, March 1, 2006 before the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee in response to a question from Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs about whether marriage discrimination against gay people is required by "God's Law."

What I wish is that the powers that be in this country spend more of their time debating things that made more of a difference instead of using the Bible to hide behind their biases.
