The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled today that same-sex couples have the right to marry under that state's constitution. The eight couples who filed suit in 2004 argued that they had been unfairly denied the benefits of marriage that heterosexual couples are entitled to. Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell has said that she would not challenge the court's ruling.
Despite the criticism of the town hall format, in many ways the second presidential debate was more substantive than the first session, and dramatically more so than the vice presidential debate last week. (I mean the real one, not the SNL version). Political junkies often say the town hall debate just regurgitates old news, but for many voters who haven't been paying attention and are just starting to think about the candidates, that's useful information.
