I have absolutely no problem with this, and am wondering why any conservative would. Why can't someone name who they want to have visit or have medical power of attorney over them?
With this argument taken away from them, it's one huge argument the gays no longer have for gay marriage. I don't see how any conservative could object to letting people decide who will visit them or have power of attorney over them, especiually if it further weakes the already-weak arguments for gay marriage.
For me, and probably most here, it’s not about who visits you, but the President has NO right to dictate this and absolutely no reason to micromanage this either.
