Raskin: Mr. Smith, I understand you are a long distance marathon runner. I read that you're a triathlete who's done more than 100 triathlons and nine ironman competitions. You are in the fight for justice, in the rule of law, for the long distance, for the long haul. And I thank you for that. And we should all try to follow your example.

.Michael Knowles dismantles the notion that 'gay marriage' is marriage: “Gay marriage doesn’t really exist in the way that a square circle doesn’t really exist. A lawmaker could come out and say, ‘I pass the square circle law,’ and a judge could come and say, ‘We defend protections for square circles,’ but nevertheless square circles would not exist."
