    The primary challenge to the administration's position comes from House Republicans through the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG). That group filed its own brief ealier that advocates settling the issue through the democratic process, not through the courts.

Jackasses. Social progress historically comes through the courts, because the American people are historically an embarrassment. Shouldn't be any different on this issue.
