Breaking: Dept. Of Justice Will Ask US Supreme Court To Uphold Same-Sex Marriage


President Barack Obama's Justice Department will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold same-sex marriage.

This evening NBC News' Pete Williams said that the U.S. Department of Justice will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold same-sex marriage. Eric Holder, Williams reports, says the country is ready for marriage equality.

"Once again, Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama Administration have stood up for marriage equality at a critical moment," said HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement. "As the nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court gather on Monday to evaluate several marriage equality cases for full hearing, I hope they consider two facts—that the nation is ready for marriage equality, and that there are painful consequences to inaction. Committed and loving gay and lesbian couples can't afford to wait any longer. It's time to settle this constitutional question, once and for all."

2. It will be interesting to read how Scalia justifies his "no" decision

it would even more interesting if Scalia decides it's a "yea", to see the expression on his face as he casts his vote. A win - win lol

8. When I can marry my wife

I will declare it done. He helped quite a bit, but it will never be done until I can look into the gorgeous blue eyes of the woman that I love and tell her that she is, indeed, my wife in all 50 states.

7. Do it.

I will clap when you do it, not just "think about it". When I as a woman can marry my wife, I will say that it is done.
