People are lining up outside of the 7th Circuit Court in Chicago for hearings in two cases on marriage equality. The cases challenge Indiana and Wisconsin's marriage bans. The two cases will be heard separately, but back to back. There is no photograhy allowed in the courtroom once hearings start, so most of the news is coming now, before the hearings begin, outside, or following. To keep up, follow people who are on the ground in Chicago.
