“Is it too soon to petition the Supreme Court on gay marriage?”

Margaret Talbot writing in The New Yorker: “If the Perry case succeeds before the Supreme Court, it could mean that gay marriage would be permitted not only in California but in every state . . . However, a loss for Olson and Boies could be a major setback to the movement for marriage equality . . . The legal team on the other side will be led by Charles Cooper, a Washington lawyer who succeeded Olson as assistant attorney general under Reagan, and by the Alliance Defense Fund, a sort of Christian-conservative counterpart of the A.C.L.U.”
