The court took up the gay marriage cases. I guess that will make the last week of June interesting.

A nation's eyes turn to Anthony Kennedy...Hard to imagine them not ruling in favor of it as a right.

The correct - utlimately - answer is that the state has no interest in what is or ain't "marriage." Leave that up to the churches.

The state should, however, define a legal social union that essentially replaces the state's current legal view of marriage. All kinds of messy questions to be answered -- can 3 people form a legal social union? Why not?

Not for the courts to decide, though.

Don't know if this was listed in the Death thread. Robert White died, Ambassador to El Salvador who was finally dumped by the Reagan administration for speaking out against military support of the murderous regime. Although I don't want to make moral judgments and others may feel differently about murdering nuns.

He once branded Roberto D’Aubuisson, the Salvadoran rightist, a “pathological killer.” And in a face-off that Mr. White had with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, Mr. Kissinger blinked, revoking a reprimand he had ordered after Mr. White, at a meeting of the Organization of American States in Chile, delivered an unalloyed critique of the host government’s human-rights infractions.

“I was fired by the Nixon White House for opposing politicization of the Peace Corps, reprimanded by Henry Kissinger for speaking out on human rights, and finally, definitely dismissed by Alexander Haig for opposing a military solution in El Salvador,” Mr. White recalled.

or maybe it's just the rotten-egg smell of that leaking oil
