There is considerable bipartisan legislation in the Senate on this subject, and I hope it is one where we can get something serious accomplished in the months ahead.

I think history's calm and dispassionate judgment will reflect that the Attorney General actually brought the Department back from a place where it had been, sadly, politicized.

If the Supreme Court rules that same-sex marriage bans are unconstitutional, it violates the U.S. Constitution for a State to try to limit marriage between a man and a woman.

It's time to put these guys on the run with a regional force that we complement.
