Really American 🇺🇸

Rep. Jamie Raskin: "You put your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn't put your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."
Everyone needs to hear this.

(11,563 posts)Jamie Raskin has gone from being almost under my radar to Top Twenty with a bullet. (That's a music charting reference, btw...nothing at all to do with guns.)
He has a great head on his shoulders and his heart is totally in the right place. A few score more like him in federal govt. and America would be much the better for it.
