Clint Eastwood to Supreme Court: Drop California's ban on same-sex marriage

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/28/17132601-clint-eastwood-to-supreme-court-drop-californias-ban-on-same-sex-marriage?lite

Clint Eastwood has joined more than 100 Republicans in arguing that gays and lesbians should be allowed to legally wed, the advocacy group waging the legal battle against California's ban on same-sex marriage said Thursday.

Manny Rivera, a spokesman for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, confirmed to NBC News that Eastwood had signed the brief to be filed with the Supreme Court in the Proposition 8 case. Calls and an email placed to representatives for the Oscar-winning actor and director were not immediately returned.

Ironically, however, Justice Thomas of Clint Eastwood's imaginary Supreme Court is still more talkative than the actual Justice Thomas.
