In fact, more history than many think has been made. The decision on DOMA by SCOTUS will have effects far beyond what people might imagine, I think. All of those effects will further expand marriage equality.

We need to make certain that future SCOTUS appointments come from Democratic Presidents.

GOTV 2014 and beyond!

Imagine their incessantly harping on it and trying to overthrow that decision. I'd think that would be good for progressives.
