LISTEN: Oral Arguments of Obergefell v. Hodges

The U.S. Supreme Court is holding oral arguments Tuesday for Obergefell v. Hodges, an amalgamation of four cases that may decide the fate of national marriage equality as early as June of this year.

Two issues are debated: whether the U.S. Constitution requires states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and whether states without marriage equality should recognize unions performed in areas of the country where it is legal.
