May it please the court. For 50 years the Supreme Court has recognize that the freedom of personal choice in matters of marriage and family life are libertied protected by due process. April and jane have a constitutional right to share a life, to marry, to form a family, to raise their children. We show in this case that no matter what standard of scrutiny the court uses, no matter what doctrine the court applies, the state cant prevail here.

There are great quotes from now when he first became world champion, he played 32 simultaneous matches against the best chess playing computers and he won 320. 10 years later, ibm beat him in a pretty close match and now it is not even close.
