On Wednesday, March 1, 2006, at a hearing on the proposed
Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage in Maryland, Jamie
Raskin, professor of law at AU, was requested to testify.
At the end of his testimony, Republican State 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.
