TV/RADIO (Current TV/Bill Press Show): Spotlight on SCOTUS applying the constitution to gay marriage
Elizabeth Wydra, the chief counsel for the Constitutional Accountability Center, gives Bill her predictions for DOMA and Prop 8. Wydra says, “i think DOMA is going down, and it couldn’t happen to a better statute.” However, she thinks that Prop 8 is more difficult to predict because of the “hemming and hawing” the Justices are doing to avoid the case. Wydra stresses the fact that the biggest job for Supreme Court Justices is “to apply the constitution.”
