Same-Sex Marriage Discussions on Larry King Live. BIG SUPRISE!

[Anakin Skywalker]

Ted Olson came out FOR gay marriage! :o I never thought I'd see that since he was a part of the conservative circle for so long. No doubt he's going to get some hate from them now.

It takes courage to break from the herd and I applaud him for that.

1. Pretty strange indeed.

2. What???

I read something to this effect earlier today but didn't believe it. Wasn't he in CA trying to subvert gay marriage? What happened? Did the ghost of Barbara whisper in his ear, 'Be careful. God is a big 'ol gay!'

3. I'm not trusting him yet

He's one of two lawyers that are taking the same-sex case to the supreme court. Sounds good in theory, but if they don't argue the right points, they could loose.

Also, I was reading how some in the gay community think that they are going to fast with this and there might not be the votes on the SC yet. They want to take it though the CA system first. That strategy has its merits.

So, if olsen has decided to change, good for him, but considering his past I'm not ready to applaud him yet.

4. Yep - I am not for this move. Bad case to take forward.

Five gay groups and four more liberal organizations (like ACLU) have said to leave this one alone.

Olson is up to no good.

5. the trojan horse/sabotage angle. no, a conservative winger would never do that! nt
