Reese: Diane. Can I ask you something? What do you think would happen if every case were adjudicated by someone with a family member or loved one who'd be affected by the decision?
Diane: Ultimately, perhaps every case is.
Reese: But isn't the law supposed to be impersonal? In the sense that it should be the same for everyone? You know, otherwise we're in China, right? Everything's determined by who you know.
Diane: The law is supposed to be fair. Not impersonal. In fact, I would argue that the law is always personal. It has to see the human side, too. Or else it's meaningless.
Reese: Hmm.
Diane: You're gonna fund this defense anyway, aren't you? The wedding planner?
Reese: Yes.
Diane: Why?
Reese: Three years ago, Barack Obama was against gay marriage. So was Bill Clinton. So was Hillary. You know, b-basically every Democratic icon was lined up against gay marriage. Now they're not. You know? Because it's politically expedient for them not to be. Who knows what they're gonna be for or against in another three years, right? I like people who stand by their opinions. I like people who stand by their beliefs. And I think a religious accommodation must be made for people who do that. You know? It's the right thing to do.
