Blow-your-mind truth speaking will follow immediately after this paragraph. If you're at work please try to contain yourself. If you must clap, hold your hands under your desk. However, if you find yourself wanting to scream find the nearest Republican and let them have it. Begin reading now:

- Jamie Raskin, candidate for State Senate, testifying Wednesday, March 1, 2006 before the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee in response to a question from Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs about whether marriage discrimination against gay people is required by "God's Law."
