[center][/center]
The Human Rights Campaign has announced a campaign to gather signatures from members of the public on a marriage equality brief to the Supreme Court.
Calling the project "The People's Brief," HRC has created a page on their site where supporters can provide their name, address, and phone number to be added to the brief. The document will be entered into record and distributed to the Supreme Court Justices.
Numerous other organizations are likely to submit briefs as well. The 2013 DOMA and Prop 8 cases attracted dozens of briefs from major corporations, state officials and members of Congress, municipalities, professional groups, religious organizations, and legal experts.
The lead signature on the brief is that of Edie Windsor, the plaintiff in the the United States v. Windsor case. The brief itself is written by Roberta Kaplan, the attorney who represented Windsor, along with Dale Carpenter of the University of Minnesota School of Law and Steve Sanders of the Indiana University Maurere School of Law.

Either way it worked out fine
'cause you're an asshole tonight.
Yes you're an A-S-S-H-O-L-E and don't you try to blame it on me
You deserve all the credit.
You're an asshole tonight.
You were an asshole yesterday, you're an asshole tonight.
And I got a feeling, you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.
And I was talkin' to your mother just the other night,
I told her I thought you're an asshole.
She said, "Yes, I think you're right."
And all your friends are assholes 'cause you've known them your whole life.
And somebody told me you've got an asshole for a wife.
Were you born an asshole, or did you work at it your whole life? Either way it worked out fine 'cause you're an asshole tonight!
