"Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?" - Senator Nancy Jacobs.

"Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not put your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible." -Jamie Raskin

The Church and State are separate for a reason.

Nothing. But is says a lot about freedom and discrimination.

I guess I need some context on this discussion, cuz if he asking about her feelings on marriage, that's one thing. If it's in reference to something else, it might be different.

Consistency would call for the government to not be in the marriage business or the medical business...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they were discussing the legality of Gay Marriage.

Why are you pretending to be stupid?

Not to mention you being a pompous pile of ill wind. You're like a beer fart. Ever looming, never welcome.

I have no idea what they are discussing. The quote he made is cute and all, but taken out of context it could have different meanings. The constitutions says nothing about defining marriage, and separation of church and state does not mean keeping religious people from office. So trying to link the constitution to ones view on marriage is kinda dumb.
