Homo Umm, Seattle Times?
In the Seattle Times recap of yesterday’s Supreme Court concurrences & dissents, there’s an embarrassing gaffe in the summary of Chief Justice Gerry Alexander’s concurrence:
Alexander filed a two-paragraph concurrence, saying DOMA is constitutional. He wrote that the opinion “should be read as casting doubt on the right of the Legislature or the people to broaden the marriage act or provide other forms of civil union if that is their will.”
Actually, Alexander wrote “there is nothing in the opinion that I have signed which should be read as casting doubt on the right of the legislature or the people to broaden the marriage act…”
Oops.
Man, that's a major screw up. Given that the Times spun the coverage to submerge the fact that the legislature can legalize gay marriage, though, the "screw up" is a little suspect.
