The Supreme Court handed down two landmark rulings on same-sex marriage this week, invalidating a key provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act and clearing the way for gay weddings to resume in California. We'll sit down with former solicitor general Ted Olson, the conservative lawyer who successfully argued against Proposition 8, the California ballot measure that banned same sex-marriage in 2008.
