I’ll be testifying tomorrow at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on a bill that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. I’ve posted my testimony on the Ethics and Public Policy Center’s website. (In case you didn’t know it, my full-time job, which enables me to blog here, is running EPPC.) The hearing will be viewable on the Committee’s website (click first link in this post) and on C-SPAN as well, I think. (Update: The hearing is now set to start at 9:45 a.m. I’ll be on the third of three panels, so I may not be up until 11:00 or later.)
