This guy, Jamie Raskin, is running for a seat in the Maryland State Senate, and he said this to some religious right senator when she stated that same sex marriage should be unconstitutional because it goes against biblical principles:

"People place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution," Raskin said. "They don't put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."
