Hillary supports marriage equality

Hillary Clinton has announced her support for marriage equality -- something hubbie Bill did a couple of weeks ago.

Both sides in the SCOTUS hearing have long since submitted their amicus curiae briefs, but this is all about building a sense of momentum and hoping the justices will feel the tide as an indication of the people's changed intention.

In addition, a new poll out yesterday shows an astonishing leap in support for marriage equality to 58%.    It's only been about a year since a consensus of polls topped the 50% mark.

For people under 30, support is 87%.

Hearings on DOMA and Prop8 are next week, beginning March 26.
