Oh-noes, Justice GINSBERG, what're ya gonna do?!1 (re: Roe v. Wade, DOMA & marriage equality)
First the paper mache doll Peggy NOONER was thrilled this morning about a Justice GINSBERG statement "this week" casting something of a pall on Roe v. Wade. Google showed old old statements from years back, but also one in which she said WE WILL NEVER GO BACK (on R.v.W.)

[font size=5]Ginsberg, Roe v Wade, DOMA & Same Sex Marriage[/font]
by War on Error
Apparently the history of Roe v Wade has entered the SCOTUS debate regarding the upcoming DOMA and Same Sex Marriage arguments. I was surprised to learn of this.
Read "Roe v. Wade looms over gay marriage cases" (inside link)
I was also surprised to find this quote from my favorite Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I missed this last year:
Its not that the judgment was wrong, but it moved too far, too fast, she said last year at Columbia Law School.
From the New York Times:
Briefs from opponents of same-sex marriage, including one from 17 states, are studded with references to the aftermath of the abortion decision and to Justice Ginsburgs critiques of it. They say the lesson from the Roe decision is that states should be allowed to work out delicate matters like abortion and same-sex marriage for themselves.
