Supreme Court Will Hear Gay Marriage Arguments in March
Long-awaited, high-stakes moment
The Supreme Court announced today it will hear the highly-anticipated arguments in two cases dealing with same-sex marriage in the last week of March.
On March 26, the court will hear at least an hour's worth of arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry, which deals with California's Proposition 8, the law banning same-sex marriage in the state. The next day, the court will hear at least an hour's worth of arguments in United States v. Windsor, which deals with the constitutionality of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
