Quote of the Day

Care of Evan Derkacz at AlterNet PEEK:

When Democratic candidate for Maryland state senate, Jamie Raskin was asked by Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs whether marriage discrimination against gay people is required by "God's Law," Raskin, under oath, replied:

"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."
Snap!*

*Heretofore known as the secular liberal traitor version of “Amen.”
