I invite you to listen to the NPR interview (see link below) with Adam Liptak, Supreme Court correspondent with the New York Times. The interview is very informative. Sometimes it's not what you don't hear, thats intriguing. In the the case of the interview, it's "why didn't USA's high end law firms want to argue against same sex marriage? Why not? Lawyers love to argue and they love money. So why turn a blind eye on both? Could it be that high end law firms received pressure or aligned to high end clients wishes? Hum? If so very nice case of applying pressure. (sometimes you've got to love what happens over martini parties) Was This Past Supreme Court Session 'A Liberal Term For The Ages'? : NPR
