Supreme Court, Loving vs Virginia, Mixed-race marriages are legal. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=388&page=1I never cared much for LBJ, but some good stuff happened during his presidency. |

| 1. Thanks for posting the decision |
|
It is nice to read the thinking of the court.
I'm in an interracial marriage myself.
I always like the fact that the couple was named "Loving". That is what it is all about, after all.

Even though I've heard it argued -- even on DU -- that the argument is different.
Yay for the Lovings!

Made about 10 years ago called Mr & Mrs Loving about the case. It was on cable though I don't know if it's on tape or DVD anywhere.
