Supreme Court Sets Oral Argument In Same-Sex Marriage Cases For April 28th
The Supreme Court has set oral argument in the same-sex marriage cases for April 28th:
The Supreme Court will hear arguments over same-sex marriage on April 28 and make audio of the proceedings available later that day.
The gay marriage cases mark the only time this term that the court has agreed to the quick release of audio recordings. But the court is continuing its ban on providing video of its sessions or even live-streamed audio.
The arguments on gay marriage have been allotted two-and-a-half hours on the final Tuesday in April. Audio and the transcript of the proceedings should be available on the court’s website by 2 p.m. EDT, the court said Thursday in a statement.
The first round of pleadings have already been filed in these cases, and the remainder will be filed over the coming weeks. You can access those pleadings at SCOTUSBlog.

Simpler times, when cartoon characters were idiots (and not in change of both houses of congress)
@C. Clavin: I thought that I was the only 13 years old that thought about that.
Interesting development – the DoJ today filed an amicus brief on behalf of the United States in this matter. It argues for suspect class status for homosexuals.
@HarvardLaw92:
Yes I saw that.
I don’t think SCOTUS will necessarily go that far, since it isn’t really necessary to decide the case, but it’s an argument that Federal Courts will have to deal with in the future.
@Doug Mataconis: It soitanly would make it easier for a whole bunch of law students if they could decide what level of scrutiny to use. As it is now, we’ve got “rational basis”, “strict scrutiny”, and “this whole other level sorta between the other two that we don’t know what to call and keep making up new definitions for.”
