Google+, MSNBC Team Up For SCOTUS Decision

As marriage equality activists anxiously await the Supreme Court's decisions on California's Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act, decisions that could theoretically knock down anti-gay barriers to the altar, Google and MSNBC are joining forces for a series of on-air Google+ hangouts in which they'll talk to lawmakers, legal experts, and activists about the impending rulings and how they'll impact this country.
