Hi there,

On Tuesday, November 5, Democracy Now! will air a 4-hour election night special broadcast from 8 pm to midnight ET. We will also air an expanded 2-hour election show for our daily broadcast from 8 to 10 am on Wednesday, November 6. Because Democracy Now! does not accept corporate advertising or sponsorship revenue, we rely on viewers like you to feature voices and analysis you won’t get anywhere else. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support our election and post-election coverage? Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $30. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.
-Amy Goodman

U.S. Supreme Court Decision on Gay Rights Initiative

The Supreme Court Monday ruled 6-3 that Colorado’s Amendment 2 is unconstitutional. The voter referendum which passed in 1992, bans state and local governments and agencies from passing or enforcing laws that protect gays and lesbians from discrimination in housing, jobs or public accommodation.

Carvin helped write an amicus brief to support Governor Roy Romer & Colorado’s Amendment 2, on behalf of 7 states: Alabama, California, Idaho, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota and Virginia, arguing that the issue is a matter better left to the states. Carvin also acted as an attorney defending the anti-gay initiative in Cincinnati, Ohio, which was pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, but was dealt a lethal blow by yesterday’s ruling.
