It's been a big day of tension, activism, anticipation, and scorching Facebook redness on this blessed day of SCOTUS review. Here are 10 tweets from gays, non-gays, comics, and non-comics that help push our conversation along in a fun way.

Dave Holmes reminds us that the heart of this issue is cat-eating.
