LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY ravenslost)

A friend posted a great link which detailed a wonderful response on the part of Jamie Raskin of Maryland to a question from a member of the state senate, republican Senator Nancy Jacobs, on the topic of amendments to the state constitution to prohibit gay marriage. The very short article in the cut is well worth reading. And the blogger who posted it, said it more eloquently that I could have.

I also found the full text of his testimony before the Maryland Senate Committee.

Turns out that Mr. Raskin, a professor of law at American University, will be running for state senate in the 2006 Election.
