Ryan Anderson, editor of the Witherspoon Institute’s Public Discourse and a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, has done yeoman service in providing an overview of some of the many arguments made by amici curiae in briefs submitted to the Supreme Court in its two upcoming marriage cases.  More than fifty such briefs have been filed, in defense of the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act.  Ryan has the first of a series of posts highlighting the arguments in these briefs here , at Heritage’s site.  I look forward to more installments.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
