Awaiting the Court

By Mustang Bobby

As I said this time last week, today could be the day the Supreme Court hands down its rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act and Prop 8. It could also be the day that it rules on the Voting Rights Act and Affirmative Action.

It would be stunning if the Court were to hand down all four rulings at once, and, to top it all off, we are mindful of the news from South Africa on the condition of Nelson Mandela, a person whose legacy is in no small way related to the questions of freedom and equality that are being considered by the Court.

Karma is the one universal constant.
