I haven't had a chance to check this story out, but in the words of my late grandmother, "It listens good." From a friend in NYC:
"On Wednesday, March 1st, 2006, in Annapolis at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, 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."
On other fronts, Linda has March Madness (for the women's bracket only, need I add) and I am having a hard time getting interested in the whole enterprise. While I'm usually excited about the prospects of some team by now, the current contenders don't do a thing for me.
Alas. A lesbian lament....
