1.  Why was the judge's confusion over, or ignorance of,  the U.S. Constitution and The Declaration of Independence newsworthy?

2.  Why do you think the NY Times and NBC reporters chose to ignore such a glaring error?  (bias by omission, spin)

3.  Why do you think the media in general chose not to report this story?

4.  Do you think if a judge made a ruling favorable to supporters of traditional families instead of favorable to those who want to legalize same-sex marriage the NY Times and NBC reporters would have noticed her misunderstanding of the Constitution?  Explain your answer.
