    The Supreme Court today heard arguments for and against gay marriage. Two questions to be decided: same sex marriage legal everywhere, and does one state have to honor a marriage from another state.

    The rulings will be known in June.

    From what I read, the conservative justices were pretty critical of the arguments opposing same sex marriage. Of course, Thomas said nothing, but even Scalia seemed to hint he was leaning towards voting for same sex marriage.

    The vote could be 9-0 or 8-1.

    Crane/Shore is going to take on a whole new meaning.

    It is rather a sad day when the Court changes the meaning of Marriage. Gay had a different mean in it's original usage, now Married will also. Gay's will likely own that word.
    I doubt most young men will want to be Married any more than being described as Gay. I suppose those that do want to be joined in the eyes of God can invent another word for the Pastor to use.

    naw, not going to worry about it. I used to be gay now and then too. Always thought changing that word was fucked up but it doesn't match this one.

    You know they got married at the end, right? And Scalia performed the ceremony.

    and if gays have sex, then young hetero men will not want to have sex, so that's the end of the human race.

    bummer.

    Slow thinkers.

    SCOTUS is such a bad joke on us all. If they were all honest people with integrity, well educated in Constitutional law with a desire to uphold it, they'd pretty much have to agree on most decisions right across the board. They rarely do.

    Maris, that is a really fundamental misunderstanding of both the law and the Court.

    Please attempt to explain your empty criticism.

    I've been watching these clowns since at least the Kennedy Administration and every last one of them has been a party puppet.

    It's not a court, it's a political committee.
