Thanks for all the emails about Supreme Court cases affirming the right to marry. I knew about those. I was trying to speak from first principles. I’m going back to sleep now. I only got about an hour and a half of shut-eye last night.

Also: rereading that post I mispoke about something else (I’m really on a roll). I wrote:

“I certainly agree with you that the plain meaning of the Constitution is silent on the question. But at the same time I sincerely doubt many heterosexual readers would feel that their basic rights were being infringed upon if the state told them they couldn’t marry the woman or man of their choosing.”

That “would” should be a “would not.”
