Iowa Rep. Steve King responding to a question about Alabama’s immigration law:

The NYPD’s chief spokesman, Paul Browne, did not respond to messages seeking comment.
Shocker.
No matter where you come down on gay marriage, please read Jerry Salcido’s article at Campaign for Liberty The Separation of Marriage and State.
