Last night (which was cold here in DC), the line began to form for seats to hear the oral argument in the two gay marriage cases that the Supreme Court will consider next week. First up on Tuesday morning will be the challenge to Prop 8; on Wednesday, the Court will hear the DoMA case. The ACLU lawyers who brought the DoMA challenge did a moot of their arguments this morning at Georgetown Law Center, and - promising confidentiality - more than 100 Georgetown law students got to listen. Plaintiff Edith Windsor attended, and students lined up afterward to speak with the woman who inspired what may become one of the most important civil rights cases in our lifetimes.
