I wish to further it here by responding to U-Wire columnist Joe Schilling's opinions on recent Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. I also want to avoid the common pitfall of editorial responders by engaging in a tit-for-tat game of rhetorical point-scoring.

The Supreme Court has refused to hear a case to decide whether the government acted properly toward Arab and Muslim detainees who were taken into custody after Sept. 11, despite an audit by the Justice Department inspector general that found significant problems - including physical abuse allegations - and a friend of the court brief filed by 23 news organizations.
