When this cartoon appeared, the Supreme Court was about to hear oral arguments on two landmark cases concerned with same-sex marriage (California’s Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act). To comment, the artist transforms the justices into long-billed birds that have invaded the privacy of a frightened couple’s bedroom.
