"Based on hate, isn't it?" (Posner, J., on the husband-wife requirement for civil marriage)
As an advocate and practitioner of judicial googling, I'm hoping that Judge Posner will eventually come across Ryan Anderson's "7 Reasons Why the Current Marriage Debate Is Nothing Like the Debate on Interracial Marriage." If he had been able to read it before yesterday's oral arguments, perhaps Bloomberg's headline would be something other than "Appeal Judge Sees Tradition of Racism in Gay-Marriage Ban."
