18. I added them at your suggestion.

I'm glad a lot of people are tweeting this. I wonder why it isn't a trending topic?

4. I'm still stunned that wingnut Ted Olson is on our side on this.

:crazy:

7. Freedom to Marry is a libertarian position.

Not that I agree with most anything the conservatives believe in, but this is something that a *real* conservative should be in favor of.

[Warpy]

10. Libertarians are generally right on social issues

They only start dreaming when they talk about economics, something they have absolutely no clue about.

[jgraz]

11. Yep.

8. Cooper: Marriage centers on procreation.

Cooper: Marriage centers on procreation. Should not be "transformed into a pvt relationship designed simply to provide...
adult couples w/ personal fulfillment."

9. One more kick before my break ends.

fingers crossed. Cooper sounds like he's phoning it in. I hope Olsen prevails.

Zarrillo choking up on stand while talking about boyfriend: "He's the love of my life. I love him probably more than I love myself."

Pretty emotional direct exam. Curious how #Prop8 supporters will handle cross examination. Very delicately, I would bet

Zarrillo: Domestic ptnrshp is third class citizenship. "It's giving me part of the pie, but not the whole thing." Doesn't give due respect

Katami: "Being married allows us access to the language. Being able to call him my husband is so definitive...We both dislike ‘lover.'”

Katami on discrimination: "No way to really describe how it feels. And I'm a proud man. I'm proud to be gay. I'm a natural born gay."

Katami talking about rocks being hurled at him. Judge Walker is completely impassive through this and all other testimony so far
