The groom and groom strolled down the aisle to the mellow strains of “Mr. Sandman.”
Wearing her black robe with her signature white lace collar, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg presided over the marriage on Sunday afternoon of Michael Kahn, the longtime artistic director of the Shakespeare Theater Company in Washington, and Charles Mitchem, who works at an architecture firm in New York.
The gilded setting was elegant: Anderson House in the Embassy Row neighborhood, the headquarters in Washington of the Society of the Cincinnati, a club for the descendants of the French and American soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War. During the ceremony, the couple slipped black and gold Harry Winston rings onto each other’s fingers.
But the most glittering moment for the crowd came during the ceremony. With a sly look and special emphasis on the word “Constitution,” Justice Ginsburg said that she was pronouncing the two men married by the powers vested in her by the Constitution of the United States.
No one was sure if she was emphasizing her own beliefs or giving a hint to the outcome of the case the Supreme Court is considering whether to decide if same-sex marriage is constitutional.
But the guests began applauding loudly, delighted either way. Justice Ginsburg, who has officiated at same-sex weddings in the past, also seemed delighted, either by their reaction or, perhaps, by the news that she will be played in a movie by Natalie Portman (who, in a strange casting segue, will play Jackie Kennedy Onassis in another film).

I couldn’t agree more!!! What is the correct response to this? Is it impeachment? I don’t know the answer, but assume they will just do the right thing isn’t enough.
Well, it nullified any legal standing to the federalist ideas of the Founding Fathers.
3. I may be mistaken, but I do not believe Sotomayor has performed any same-sex wedding ceremonies.
9/22/2014 CBS - Supreme Court justice (Kagan) performs her first same-sex wedding
I knew Kagan performed a same-sex wedding. I do not believe Sotomayor did. And there are not two lesbians on the Supreme Court.
Well, that ruined “Mr. Sandman” forever.
She’s an old coot who should have stepped down eons ago.
What an ass you are. I’ve been in theater for over 40 years. I was talking to the general FR community who has no idea what goes on in today’s culture.
I have spent years here encouraging families to take back theater from the gays - especially in high schools. Almost everybody in America who goes on to professional theater gets the kick from high school. Try to find one freeper who will let their kid audition for the school play or musical because of their silly fear of homosexuality catching. Taking back the beauty of the culture starts at the lowest level. But it will not happen in my lifetime.
That would require honesty.
Irony she preaches against racism when she is the one advocating women to abort if they have a negro child.
Isn’t then homosexual marriage a hypocritical extention of having sex with someone you do not want kids with or of?

Abortion and homosexuality are based in slavery and violate many amendments of the Constitution/BillofRight.
A white woman’s womb is not a plantation to dispose of unwanted negro children, and marriage is not an institution of sex with a person you do not make a child with, simply because you want to have it with another person of another color.
But she mentions constitution, like a hypocrite whore.
I appreciate what you’re doing, esp. after seeing your profile.
Recently, Max McLean’s “The Screwtape Letters” came to Florida. We saw him do a Q&A personally after the show.
greatdivorceonstage.com is his newest production.
Thanks for being a light in a dark world! :)
sff
Doesn’t this old croak otherwise think the Constitution is an anachronism?
Bless you! Keep up your interest in theater - fight for what is best (meaning beauty and truth) and don’t let the hedonists and homos destroy your love/or appreciation of culture.
When the states ratified the Constitution, Sodomy was a death penalty offense. They generally hanged them.
To Nero Germanicus:
You should probably peruse this thread to get a taste for what *MOST* conservatives think of the Judiciary.
Well, since Roosevelt anyways.
Why not, I was told just last week by a Freeper that he considers us all citizens of the world.
No joke.
This thread is a treasure trove of conservative opinion regarding the Judiciary.
Biased towards normalcy? There is *SUPPOSED* to be bias towards normalcy. It's called "sanity."
No, the converse argument does not work. Your theory hinges on the foundation that sickness and weirdity are socially and morally equivalent to normalcy.
The 14th amendment, poorly thought out and coerced into existence, has been the most abused amendment in history.
