North Carolina Amendment 1: Voters Weigh Gay Marriage Ban (Becky Adams)

North Carolina voters go to the polls Tuesday to decide whether to add a measure banning gay marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships to the state's constitution, in addition to the state's statutory prohibition against recognition of same-sex marriage. The text of the amendment reads, "Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state."

Social Media a Path to Online Gambling (Brent Cinalli)

It’s been six years since the US Congress outlawed “illegal online gambling” without ever defining what the term meant. Congress did say what it wasn’t however: it is not illegal for a state to license online gambling provided that the games are conducted solely inside a state’s boundaries.
