Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiated a same-sex wedding in Washington, DC on Saturday ? and one of the grooms was John Roberts. No, obviously not Chief Justice John Roberts. But I think this is incredibly cool and a pretty amazing ?first? for the country.
Ginsburg will officiate Saturday at the marriage of Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser and John Roberts, a government economist.
?Michael Kaiser is a friend and someone I much admire,? Ginsburg said in a written statement Friday. ?That is why I am officiating at his wedding.?
The private ceremony will take place at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a national memorial to President John F. Kennedy. The 80-year-old Ginsburg, an opera lover, is a frequent guest at the center.
Same-sex marriage is legal in the District of Columbia and 13 states.
?I think it will be one more statement that people who love each other and want to live together should be able to enjoy the blessings and the strife in the marriage relationship,? Ginsburg told The Washington Post in an interview.
?It won?t be long before there will be another? performed by a justice. She has another ceremony planned for September.
Bravo, Justice. Bravo.
