The very idea of marriage is basic to recognition as equals in our society any status short of that is inferior, unjust, and unconstitutional.

हकीकत यह है कि हमारी स्वतंत्र न्यायपालिका हमारी सरकार का सबसे सम्मानित अंग है और पूरी दुनिया जिसके लिए ईर्ष्या करती है।
The reality is that our independent judiciary is the most respected branch of our government and the envy of the world.

बचपन में कोई भी यह सपना नहीं देखता कि बड़ा होकर वह सिर्फ लिव-इन पार्टनरशिप में रहे। लेकिन बच्चे यह सपना ज़रूर देखते हैं कि बड़े होकर उनकी शादी हो।

बारबरा ने यह कर दिखाया—वह कुछ भी ठान लेती तो उसे पूरा करने की कुवत रखती थी। पीछे मुड़कर देखता हूँ तो मुझे हैरानी नहीं होती कि बारबरा कलेक्ट कॉल लगवाने में कामयाब रही।
Well, she managed to – Barbara was capable of doing practically anything if she set her mind to it. In retrospect, I’m not surprised that Barbara managed to get collect calls through.

वह विमान सुबह 8:10 पर रवाना हुआ—या यूं कहें कि उसका समय वही था। और मेरा मानना है कि वह उसी समय उड़ा भी था। मैं न्याय विभाग में अपने दफ़्तर में था। किसी ने मुझे बताया कि वर्ल्ड ट्रेड सेंटर पर दो हमले हो चुके हैं।
The plane took off at 8:10 in the morning – or that’s when it was scheduled to take off. And that’s when I believe it took off. I had been in my office at the Department of Justice. Someone told me that there had been the two strikes that occurred at the World Trade Center.

संयुक्त राष्ट्र के सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने बार-बार यह माना है कि हमारे संविधान के तहत एक अमेरिकी के रूप में विवाह हमारे सबसे मौलिक अधिकारों में से एक है।

मैंने तुरंत न्याय विभाग के कंट्रोल रूम में फोन करके यह सूचना दी कि मेरी पत्नी एक ऐसे विमान में है जिसका अपहरण हो गया है। मैं मुख्य रूप से उन्हें यह बताना चाहता था कि एक और विमान का अपहरण हुआ है।
I immediately called the command center of the Department of Justice to let them know that my wife was on a plane that had been hijacked. I mainly wanted them know there was another hijacked plane out there.

उसने बताया कि उड़ान भरने के कुछ ही देर बाद विमान का अपहरण कर लिया गया था। तब तक—फिर से मैं यही मान रहा हूँ कि विमान समय पर उड़ा होगा—वह एक घंटे से ज़्यादा हवा में रह चुका था।
She said it had been hijacked shortly after takeoff. By this time, the plane had been in the air – again, I’m presuming that it took off on time – for over an hour.

मैं चाहता था कि यह सच न हो। मैं चाहता था कि वह उसका विमान न हो। मैं चाहता था—अगर वह उसी का विमान था—तो किसी तरह सब बच जाएं क्योंकि वह विमान के पिछले हिस्से में बैठी थी। लेकिन हम जानते हैं कि ऐसी आपदाओं में ऐसा कुछ नहीं होता।
I wanted it not to be true. I wanted it not to be her plane. I wanted it – I wanted, if it was her plane, to have somehow survived because she was in the back of the airplane. But we know that doesn’t happen, not with those sorts of things.

मेरी पत्नी एक विमान से रवाना हुई थी। दो विमान वर्ल्ड ट्रेड सेंटर से टकरा चुके थे। ज़ाहिर है, किसी भी आम इंसान की तरह मैं भी अंदर से टूट सा गया था, थोड़ा घबराया हुआ था।
My wife had taken off on a plane. Two airplanes had crashed into the World Trade Center. I, of course, like any other person, felt potentially devastated, panicky a little bit.
