Prof. Carpenter Quoted in New York Times on States' Votes for Gay Marriage

Professor Dale Carpenter was quoted in a New York Times article entitled "States' Votes for Gay Marriage Are Timely, With Justices Ready to Weigh Cases." The article stated: "Dale Carpenter, a law professor at the University of Minnesota who opposed the proposed constitutional amendment, said supporters of same-sex marriage had reason to be wary of a Supreme Court decision on whether the Constitution requires it. "This looks like increasing momentum for same-sex marriage," he said of Tuesday's developments, "but I've got to say it's still 41 to 9. It's been pretty rare for the court to take on 41 states."
