Thoughts in a Haystack

Mark down this date!

The Supreme Court has announced the date for oral argument in the same-sex marriage cases: April 28, 2015, from 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

What's more, the Court has also announced that, in a rare move, it will be releasing the audio of the oral arguments, along with an unofficial transcript, both of which should be available no later than 2 p.m. on the same day. They will be found here.

This is the civil rights issue before the Court in the 21st Century so far. It will be remembered (whether in glory or in infamy) for as long as the United States survives, right up there with Brown v. Board of Education and Loving v. Virginia or right down there with Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson.

And you will have the chance to hear the arguments made before the Court almost in real time.

Be there or be square.
