Senator Richard Blumenthal speaking on the Senate floor.
HAPPENING NOW: Senate Dems are speaking on the floor about Trump's judicial nominees. @blumenthal.senate.gov says they're discussing one of the most important decisions they're going to make with respect to the future of justice in America β the nomination of Emil Bove to serve on the Third Circuit.

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed. It is so ordered.
10 years ago today.
Such a great day.
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition of 240+ national civil and human orgs, is out with a letter of "strong opposition" to Bove's confirmation. civilrights.org/wp-content/u...

I have Betty sleeping like a person pictures! (Is this an acceptable first-ever post #onhere? Do we even say "on here" on here? Are hashtags even a thing? What do I even call this post?)
