Leslie is rejoined by Ian Millhiser, a Senior Constitutional Policy Analyst at the Center for American Progress and the Editor of ThinkProgress Justice.

Ian explains what today's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges means, and doesn't mean, for same sex couples and the LGBT community. Here is an excerpt from his blog on the matter (which he discussed during our interview):

"Obergefell v. Hodges is not the most perfect victory the Supreme Court could have handed gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans. That would have been a decision applying some form of “heightened scrutiny,” a legal declaration that all laws that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation must be treated with skepticism by the courts. Yet, while Friday’s decision is not a perfect victory for gay rights, it is still a massive one. And it likely clears the path for a follow up decision establishing that the rights of gay men, lesbians and bisexuals extend far beyond the marital context."

Ian's writings have appeared in a diversity of legal and mainstream publications, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, U.S. News & World Report, Slate, the Guardian, the Nation, the American Prospect, the Yale Law and Policy Review and the Duke Law Journal.
