Supremes waffle on marriage equality
Over the last 40 years, I've been involved in a lot of political battles for a lot of different causes: workers' rights, women's rights, gay rights, environmental protection, anti-war, anti-nuclear power, anti-urban sprawl, animal rights, gun control,...

INKED! The moral 'evolution' of gay marriage
When Bill O’Reilly “evolves” on the issue of gay marriage, it’s worth wondering whether the word “evolve” has a new definition. Evolve is supposed to connote change of heart, but seems to be more about twisting to meet...

Let's be grown-ups on gay marriage and assault weapons
Given the lack of interest in Congress in protecting children from guns, it was nice to hear a grown-up in Washington speak on behalf of kids, any kids — in this case, the nearly 40,000 kids who live with same-sex parents in California. "They want...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Adam Lanza, Interior Policy, Politics, Sandy Hook Elementary School

Same-sex marriage can't be stopped by courts

From I don't to I do
WASHINGTON -- More than perhaps anyone else in America, David Blankenhorn personifies the struggle so many have experienced over same-sex marriage. First he was agnostic, then he was against it, now he's for it. This is to say that Blankenhorn -- a...

Momentous decisions
Pity the Supremes. Not Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson but Alito, Breyer, Roberts, Thomas, Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Kagan, Kennedy and Scalia. After two days of testimony last week on two separate issues of gay rights -- or as we should think of...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Politics, Family, Trials, Defense of Marriage Act

McManus: SCOTUS-induced chaos on gay marriage?
If the Supreme Court decides the two gay marriage cases it heard last week the way most court watchers believe it will, expect legal and political chaos. The court seems ready to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, while ruling quite...

Fear of gay-marriage backlash far-fetched
Even U.S. Supreme Court justices care what people think about them, experts say. In their current same-sex marriage cases they fear a big public backlash if they overreach.

Plakas: Some people just can't accept gay marriage as equality issue
On Monday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia answered a gay Princeton student's question related to the justice's writings, which equate laws banning sodomy with those barring bestiality and murder. He told the student he felt legislative bodies...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, Laws, Lawyers, Civil Rights, U.S. Supreme Court
