"Gay Marriage, Law of the Land?" on The American Law Journal, Philadelphia CNN-News Affiliate WFMZ-TV: Video Online Now
(PRWEB) April 27, 2015 -- Monday April 27 at 7:00 pm on the Philadelphia CNN-News affiliate WFMZ-TV and online now, The American Law Journal presents "Liberty, Justice and... Gay Marriage for All?” The program examines not only the probable outcome of this case but how it may affect gay rights and discrimination at work and in public.
Christopher Naughton welcomes Helen Casale of Hangley Aronchick who argued the Whitewood same sex marriage case in Pennsylvania, family law practitioner Donald F. Spry, II of King, Spry and John Culhane, Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Family Health Law & Policy Institute at Widener Law Delaware.
In the opening feature report, The Legal Intelligencer newspaper’s senior staff writer Gina Passarella references a recent Washington Post article that examines the 1975 story of a young Colorado judge invalidating a gay couple’s marriage license from a Boulder county clerk. The article described how that judge would later become Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has gone on to author the most “pro-gay” decisions in the high court’s history. Passarella interviews Prof. David Cohen of Drexel University School of Law, Prof. Leonore Carpenter of Temple University School of Law, Prof. Kermit Roosevelt of University of Pennsylvania Law School, Julia Swain of Fox Rothschild, Lynne Gold-Bikin of Weber Gallagher and Angela Giampolo of the Giampolo Law Group
“Justice Kennedy has staked his legacy on building these cases on gay rights and will likely author this case now before the Court,” says Cohen [but] “he has not gone the route of saying that sexual orientation, like sex or race, is a protected class. He should. The federal government does not have anti-discrimination laws around employment, housing or schooling.”
