The Same-Sex Marriage Controversy and American Constitutionalism

Professor Murray Dry will give a talk about his newest book “The Same-Sex Marriage Controversy and American Constitutionalism: A Study in Federalism, The Separation of Powers, and Individual Rights”. He will discuss the twofold character of his examination of the same-sex marriage controversy and then explain how this controversy relates to the larger question of the place of the federal courts, and especially the Supreme Court, in the American system of government.
