In First Of 2 Gay-Marriage Cases, Court Turns To Proposition 8 : NPR

Pretty exciting stuff, eh? I feel this is worth sharing. I would think most of us support equal rights.

The two cases fall into the category of the truly momentous. So much so that Supreme Court advocate Tom Goldstein literally pounded the table when speaking to law students last month. "This is special," he declared, observing that there were no cases like it when he was in law school." This will be a "foundational decision" that "is going to be decided for centuries."

On one side of the argument in these cases is the idea of equality. On the other, traditional notions of how society has ordered itself.
