New debate, different battlefield
As promised, here’s a more legal post. Same-sex marriage and related issues are prevalent in Indiana, like many states right now.

It was a fascinating, and nerve-wracking, experience to sit there …

But… You knew that was coming didn’t you. There’s always a but with attorneys… I’m not sure where it falls ethically. It’s not wrong per se. …
Friends
