The best piece I've read about the Same Sex Marriage decision is this one by Jeffrey Toobin. An awful lot of the arguments against the decision seem to me like folks insisting that they have a right to have Their Country or at least Their State run in accordance with Their Interpretation of Their Religion. They do not grasp that that's not how it works in Our America.

Also, read David Remnick and his overview of the last ten days in this country.

And I've assumed you watch President Obama's eloquent eulogy for Reverend Clem Pinckney, who was murdered in the Charleston shooting. At times, it got a bit too Clergyman for my tastes but all in all, it was a stirring and important address.
