Who Cares :???: While I agree with her on this subject-- I also believe government/her Hubby should never have stuck their nose into the marriage issue and tied thousands of rights, economical benefits, and privilege issues to your partner status- and for that reason the SCOTUS will rule against all bans of homosexual marriages...
Which will leave the states to deciding if they want to have gay marriages or gay civil unions or whatever they want to call them... Either way- they will have to allow heterosexual and homosexual couples the same rights, benefits, and privileges allowed by the current laws for marriage...
The decision will use much of the precedent set in the Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967) case that ruled laws banning/outlawing interracial marriages were unconstitutional..
Chief Justice Earl Warren's opinion for the unanimous court held that:
“ Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.
