There was a bloggingheads discussion with Bob Wright and Ann Althouse. If you are worried about the visuals, it was a split screen, and they kept their clothes on. At the 12:30 mark, Ms. Althouse discussed a DOMA case that is going before the SCOTUS.
The plaintiff in question is probably Edie Windsor. “On Monday, lawyers filed a petition on behalf of Edith “Edie” Windsor, an 83-year-old lesbian from New York, asking the Supreme Court to review her case, … Windsor sued the government in 2010, after the death of her partner of more than 40 years forced Windsor to pay more than $363,000 in federal estate tax on her partner’s estate. Windsor and Thea Spyer were married in 2007, in Canada, and while New York recognized the marriage, the federal government did not. When Spyer got sick, she chose to leave her entire estate to Windsor. Had Windsor been married to a man, she would not have had to pay any estate tax, according to court documents; therefore, her suit argues, DOMA violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.”
The rest of the discussion was lively. PG listened to the entire thing. Mr. Wright explained why there was a closed coffin when JFK was buried. Somehow, this secular twosome got onto religion. Ms. Althouse said that people believe what they want to believe. The peroxide did not seem to affect her delivery. There were no commercials.
