Okay, so Ginsburg will be there. But who's the other guy?

Yikes. No wonder he went to the dark side on Obamacare. ;-)

Might be a silly question but under what authority can Ginsburg unite ANYBODY in wedlock? She’s a Supreme Court justice, not a justice of the peace or an ordained minister. As far as I know, the right to perform a wedding is granted by states. What state has empowered her?

It’s the new way. Set a precedent, regardless to the fact that it’s unconstitutional or illegal. Then ram it up everyone’s arse.

Any Judge, State or Federal, has that authority.

How appropriate (and vile) that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is to officiate at a wedding ceremony between two men this weekend.

I’m more convinced each day we are living in the growing shadow of Divine Judgement. Jerusalem 586 BC, Rome 476 AD, Constantinople 1453, Paris 1814, Moscow 1917, Berlin 1945, and now Washington...2014?

IIRC, all of these cities, empires, reichs or nations became decadent and loathsome....some more than others, of course....but the morality degenerated rapidly and so did the economies and defense.

Which is what is happening now.

Never been someone who believed in God? Start.

Not to quibble, but technically the Supreme Court justices are just that: justices. They are not judges. They do not even have to be certified before the Bar.

Not that I suppose such a fine legal distinction would concern a Lefty anyway ...
