are more receptive to richer notions of gay rights. This issue is a

test for liberalism.  Can liberalism go beyond mere tolerance…or is

liberalism essentially concerned with freedom at the expense of notions

of equality and inclusion?....The basic contention…is that the greatest

opportunity for aggressive judicial policymaking…exists when an activist

judiciary meets a political culture that accepts a form of liberalism that

conceives of rights broadly….”
