And lawyers wonder why they’re universally despised in this country...
What the heck happened to Olsen?
Barbara Olson is rolling over in her grave
THIS is what “happened” to Ted:
On October 21, 2006 Olson married Lady Booth, a tax attorney and native of Kentucky.[8]
[edit] PoliticsOlson was present at the first meeting of the Federalist Society.[9] He has served on the board of directors of American Spectator magazine.[10] Olson was a prominent critic of Bill Clinton’s presidency, and he helped prepare the attorneys of Paula Jones prior to their Supreme Court appearance.[2] Olson’s wife, Lady, has described herself as a lifelong registered Democrat.[11] She has contributed to the campaigns of Barack Obama and Rudy Giuliani. Olson served Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign as judicial committee chairman.[9]
Olson believes there is a constitutional right for same-sex marriage.[12]
conservative legal scholar’
....Olson hasn’t been conservative in a long time... pure NWO and is probably gay himself. Yes, I know he remarried, but then look at 0baMao... He’s been on the wrong side of most issues since ‘01. Worked to undo the will of the voters in CA helping overturn Prop 8...
ymmv
Ted is enlightened. I have a suspicion that he will be a bit less enlightened with polygamy but he will eventually come around. Of course his enlightenment turns to condescending bitchiness when it comes to those who hold that marriage is a man/woman thing but that’s the norm among the enlightened.
Wow. Ted really lost it after losing BKO. :-(
Wonderful Barbara Olsen must be turning over in her grave.
I never could figure out what she saw in this jerk.
Kinda old news....from Dec. 2010;
“Ted Olson, Gay Marriage’s Unlikely Legal Warrior”

There are certainly plenty of conservatives who are not churched, not Christian, or nominally Christian based upon their particular strain of the facts and on the facts. ;)
That the state of marriage was ever considered a sacrament by not only the Catholic Church, but virtually all other so called mainline churches in America, is simply a fact not well known in the USA any longer.
Ignorance and faithlessness today abounds and makes it easy to be both conservative and liberal at the same time, on every issue of consequence.
Ted Olsen was retained by LightSquared in its battle against the FCC.
He seems to be on the wrong side of everything these days.
I think its going to come out that the RNC is crawling with gays.

“Conservative”? (”Scholar”?)
After the decisive rejection and ejection of GOP moderate statesman Dick Lugar,
IMHO the definition of “conservative” no longer includes the word “moderate.”
From now on, conservatives will not want to go along to get along. Why should we? We’re calling the shots.
P.S.
I miss Barbara Olsen very much. She was so smart, and she was also a fellow Freeper.
I also enjoyed listening to her on TV.
Does this sound like the founder of the Federalist Society, or an 8-year old girl?
It’s such a shame that Ted wasn’t in that plane instead of his wife.
I’ve lived in Manhattan and I’ve lived in Washington DC.
Both places have a very strong “culture.” The people in both places, especially the upper classes and elitists, have a surprisingly uniform and lock-step thinking.
I’m convinced that if you are living there, and soaking in this culture long enough, there is immense pressure within one’s own mind to find ways to conform and “be accepted.”
For Ted Olson (who I will guess probably still calls himself “conservative”) the gay issue does this for him.
