El 26 de marzo, Profesor Gabilondo salió en el programa Dinero de CNN en Español para analizar Hollingsworth v. Perry y United States v. Windsor, dos casos en Tribunal Supremo que impugnan las restricciones federales y estatales sobre el matrimonio civil por parte de personas del mismo sexo.

“Nuestra Constitución reconoce dos distintas fuentes de derecho – una democrática y la otra judicial.  La mayoría de las leyes se promulgan a través de la primera por los procesos mayoritarios, i.e., las legislaturas estatales y el Congreso.  Pero cuando el demos se convierte en una turba, la única forma de proteger a las minorías de los abusos mayoritarios es a través de una intervención judicial en la cual una corte – típicamente federal – acredita los derechos del individuo.  Eso es lo que está en juego en los casos Perry y Winsor.”
