From Scott LaMar:

After 32 years at WITF I’m retiring at the end of this week. On the Spark, we're broadcasting several of my most memorable conversation.

Wednesday, we went back to June of 2014 When Federal Judge John Jones appeared on the program.

In May of 2014, Judge Jones struck down Pennsylvania’s defense of marriage law as unconstitutional. The law had defined marriage as between a man and a woman. The ruling made same sex marriage legal in Pennsylvania – the 14th state where same sex couples could marry at the time. It was a historic decision. At the time, many were interested in Judge Jones’ legal interpretation that went into his ruling. Same sex marriage was eventually upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Judge Jones joined us to discuss how he arrived at his decision and the role of the judiciary.
