7-2 remember those numbers. [View all]

Not seeing much about it on DU today but those numbers are actually huge!

SCOTUS came out today 7-2 to let Marriage equality proceed in Kansas (not hard to figure out the two dissenters). Yes that is correct 7-2

Doesn't look like we will have to count on Kennedy for the swing vote after all.

To me, this tells me without a shadow of a doubt, it's a done deal very soon for the rest of America.

I'm celebrating, feel free to join in or just move on by.
