Ruth Bader Ginsburg To Marry Another Same-Sex Couple This Weekend

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/ruth_bader_ginsburg_to_marry_another_same_sex_couple_this_weekend

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, clearly the most progressive of all current Justices on the Supreme Court today, will officiate at the wedding of Danny Rubens and Danny Grossman this weekend. They will be the fourth same-sex couple the 81-year old jurist has married....

In August of last year, Ginsburg became the first sitting Supreme Court justice to officiate at a same-sex wedding. She married Michael M. Kaiser and John Roberts (no relation to the Chief Justice) in Washington, D.C.

“I think it will be one more statement that people who love each other and want to live together should be able to enjoy the blessings and the strife in the marriage relationship,” Ginsburg told the Washington Post at the time....

"When Ginsburg officiated last year, Joe Jervis reports, "Charisma News denounced Ginsburg as a 'tool of Satan.'"

Spaulding: Here I am talkin' of parties. I came down here for a party. What happens? Nothing. Not even ice cream. The gods looked down and laughed. This would be a better world for children if the parents had to eat the spinach. (He steps back and proposes marriage to both of them.) Well, what do you say, girls? What do you say? Are we all gonna get married?

Mrs. Rittenhouse: All of us?

Spaulding: All of us!

Mrs. Rittenhouse: But that's bigamy!

Spaulding: Yes, and that's big-a-me, too...It's big of all of us. Let's be big for a change. I'm sick of these conventional marriages! One woman and one man was good enough for your grandmother, but who wants to marry your grandmother? Nobody, not even your grandfather. Think, think of the honeymoon, strictly private. I wouldn't let another woman in on this. Well, maybe one or two but no men. I may not go myself.

Mrs. Rittenhouse: Are you suggesting companionate marriage?

Spaulding: Well, it's got its advantages. You could live with your folks and I could live with your folks. (To Mrs. Whitehead) And you, you could sell Fuller Brushes.
