............love this time of year! dramatic weather changes, a chance to wear winter clothes, even boots!
and while i'm wearing my first-ever red cowboy boots, what else is going on? well, the supreme court is wading into the gay marriage 'controversy'.
the issues seem to be nicely chugging along, with major marriage wins last month at the ballot boxes - could the supremes screw it up? for sure. justice roberts is still recovering from the battering he took when he 'saved' obamacare - don't look for another liberal move by him. no, this once comes down, again, to justice kennedy. anybody's guess.
and there are two issues - the defense of marriage act (DOMA), and actual same-sex marriages. i think we're looking at DOMA being overturned, but then a split decision. the california case looks for a constitutional amendment making same-sex marriage OK. i think the supremes will say goodbye to DOMA, then put the burden on the states. or, as this lesbian sees it, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
we'll see.
