Gays at the Supremes | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: One wonders whether the push for marriage was more about milking fundraisers for every last dime on the march for equality than any real reticence over the composition of the Court.  Most economically conservative GOP judges are socially liberal.  Considering that the Chief Justice helped the winning team in Roemer v. Evans, one must conclude that the composition of the Court is not the problem.  Nor are the arguments or the representation on the other side sufficient to win the day.  If all they have is reference to Catholic spin (which is not even consistent with Canon Law) that says marriage is to produce children (when in reality fecundity is not required for marriage), then there is no case against marriage other than "gays are icky," which is an argument of moral scorn - and moral scorn has already been thrown out as a defensible legal strategy vice Roemer.
