WCL Raskin Book

Jamie Raskin, You are the true embodiment of civic virtue. You represent the tradition of public service in the highest and most noble sense of that phrase. You put your personal well- being second to the well-being of the nation and of your constituents, rising regularly to expound the values of a society thatmust bemore just andhumane,more openand honest, more compassionate and accountable. Listening to you expound the essential tenets of our democracy on the Senate floor, I was never more proud to be your friend, your admirer, your colleague, and a fellow teacher of constitutional law. From advocating for the vote for DC to founding the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project to fighting to hold the president accountable and so much more, you make democracy come to life as a real set of ideals rather than a paper structure. In this and so many ways, you bring out the best in all of us around you. Thank you. SteveWermiel
