Eric Holder: 'Time Has Come' for Marriage Equality

"The time has come" for nationwide legal recognition of same-sex couples and their families, says U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in an opinion piece published in USA Today. As the Supreme Court prepares to consider the issue of marriage equality, Holder's Justice Department will file a brief this week "setting forth our position that state bans on same-sex marriage violate the fundamental constitutional guarantee of 'equal protection of the laws,'" Holder writes.
