    Two different five-vote Supreme Court majorities made rulings today that advance the cause of same-sex marriage in the United States. The Court threw out the Defense of Marriage Act and paved the way for same-sex marriage in California. Also, last night's 13-hour filibuster over abortion law in Texas.
