Hi Mr. Ferguson, thank you for entertaining us with your work on Modern Family! And thanks for opening the floor here on Reddit to talk about your activism.
When the Supreme Court struck down DOMA, it was interpreted as a victory for states' rights in that the federal government would subsequently have to recognize same-sex couples who were legally married in states that had already legalized same-sex marriage. In order to gain a victory for same-sex marriage in the current case, the Court would have to invalidate existing bans in four states, which would be seen as a win for federal authority. How do you anticipate the Justices bridging that gap to rule in favor of marriage equality?
