(ROLL CALL) The origins of Friday’s landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage can be traced back almost 30 years to the Senate’s confirmation process for justices.
Officials in President Ronald Reagan’s administration, reeling after two failed nominees to the court, were looking for a reliable conservative who could get Senate confirmation. They found him in U.S. Circuit Judge Anthony Kennedy.
