The wrong spouse died in that airplane.

[Crazieman]

I think her death made him lose his mind.

[Osage Orange]

Ted has lost his way..............

[freebilly]

Loser....

[onyx]

Oh shut-up Ted Olsen.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Ted Olson is not a conservative and I don’t know why the GOP puts up with him. With “friends” like that who needs enemies.

Olson, a former United States Solicitor General under George W. Bush

Another hack Bushy hating on conservatives...Olsen included.

[Lurkinanloomin]

A very unfortunate loss

[from occupied ga]

prominent gay rights activist Ted Olson

Don't need to read any further. ("conservative attorney" my a$$)

Lewrockwell.com is banned but drivel from salon isn't. Go figure.

[Lurkinanloomin]

We The People should have some recourse when black robed tyrants overstep their authority.

I’m willing to entertain Cruz’ ideas.

[bramps]

Olson, a former United States Solicitor General under George W. Bush, ridiculed Cruz’s plan as politically unachievable: “A constitutional amendment to change Article III of the Constitution in this fashion has virtually no chance of succeeding … I would think that most graduates of the Harvard Law School know that,” he said in an email to the Washington Post.

7 Years ago the dimwit would've been saying the same things about homosexual ‘marriage’ becoming the law of the land.

Standing firm with God is never a bad idea. Please keep shining the light on the moral decay of this country, Mr. Cruz.

“prominent gay rights activist Ted Olson”

“Olson famously joined progressive David Boies”

And there you have his motivation, folks.

[Jack Black]

Ted Cruz, Mr. 4%.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Olsen is a misguided soul.

[zencycler]

When abolitionist Republicans first started proposing that our Constitution be amended to free slaves and to grant black men the right to vote - that also had “no chance of succeeding”, until decades later and after a war that nearly tore our country apart.

That’s also something a Harvard graduate should know.

It takes principled leaders - like the pre Civil War abolitionists and like Ted Cruz - to advocate for needed change even when such change seems unpopular and impossible.

That’s also something that unfortunately many Harvard graduates, like Olson, don’t know. Intelligence and wisdom are not the same thing. The former require academics only, the latter requires the application of intelligence based on virtue.

[Jack Black]

Ted Cruz, Mr. 4%.

[rockrr]

Yawn.

I can recall when scorchings actually left you singed a bit ;’)

[Nifster]

Amen to that

Ted quit being a conservative long ago

[Red Steel]

Cruz subsequently proposed altering the Constitution to require Supreme Court justices to face judicial retention elections.

ridiculed Cruz’s plan as politically unachievable: “A constitutional amendment to change Article III of the Constitution in this fashion has virtually no chance of succeeding."

And why is that Olsen? You don't tell us why is it not politically unachievable? This is not an answer. Is it you think that it doesn't have enough political support? Political winds do change, and sometimes faster than you would think so. Why people believe lawyers are always smart is beyond me.

[Bobalu]

That's harsh!

But I agree with you.

(I'm so ashamed of myself)

[FreeReign]

Olson, a former United States Solicitor General under George W. Bush, ridiculed Cruz’s plan as politically unachievable: “A constitutional amendment to change Article III of the Constitution in this fashion has virtually no chance of succeeding … I would think that most graduates of the Harvard Law School know that,”

Wait what?

I would hope that they teach what is Constitutionally achievable, and not what's politically achievable at Harvard Law.

Olson is spouting nonsense.
