Bottom Line

The Supreme Court's decision last week to weigh in on the gay marriage debate presents the justices with several options. And we got lots of questions about it this week.

Daniel Van Winkle asked via Twitter: "If the court rules in favor of gay marriage, what does that mean for states that have amended constitutions banning it?"

And Larry Lozan wrote us via Facebook to ask: "Assuming DOMA [Defense of Marriage Act] is struck down can a married couple legally wed in one state be entitled to all federal benefits and rights afforded to any couple regardless of the state they legally reside in?"

Thanks for the questions. Check out my answers on this week's Bottom Line:

Political Punch

President Obama's reelection means we will have new officials in the Cabinet. It also means we will have some new ambassadorships, and democrats in the know tell me one of the big names being considered for a plum ambassadorship to the UK or France is Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Two of the most important ambassadorships are our top diplomat in the U.K.  -- following in the footsteps of former U.S. presidents including John Adams, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams -- and our top diplomat in France -- a prestigious position held by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and founding Peace Corps director Sargent Shriver.

So whom do Democrats say is now seriously being considered?

Vogue editor Anna Wintour, a towering figure in the fashion community known for elegance, taste, and a cruelty so intolerable a best-selling book and film were written about it.

"The Devil Wears Prada," written by a former assistant to Wintour, cemented the editor in pop culture legend for her
