Tonight's Political Comment

So everyone's saying that the Supreme Court decision on Gay Marriage will be rolled out tomorrow at 10 AM Eastern Time. Those who predict what the Supremes will decree have been wrong enough lately that I'm ignoring all forecasts but they're probably right about the When.

As readers of this blog know, I think it's shameful that gay folks even have to make the case that they should be allowed to marry whoever they want to marry. Given how public opinion has shifted on this issue, I'm sure we will see the end of that in the foreseeable future. It would be great if the Supreme Court could get us to that day tomorrow but I suspect a split decision of some kind is more likely. The New Yorker has whipped up an interactive chart that shows us how each possible combination of the two pending decisions would impact the states.
