Same-sex marriage, of course.
Or. at least according to Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito.
The U.S. Supreme Court is turning its attention to the merits of the case on Proposition 8, California's ban on same-sex marriage.
The justices, as exemplified by the words of Alito, are perplexed by what they have been asked to legally and humanely meditate on--the changing nature of the institution of marriage.
In the words of Alito:
Same-sex marriage is very new, [it] may turn out to be a good thing; it may turn out not to be a good thing. But you want us to step in and render a decision, based on an assessment of the effects of this institution, which is newer than cellphones or the Internet? I mean, we do not have the ability to see the future.
