And as I remember, Olson’s name was floated as a possibility for a seat on the SCOTUS and he would have had great support among American conservatives.

Ted Olson has sold out... or come out.

They have no case, this is a CA constitutional amendment and the US constitution defines marriage as one man and one woman. This will go nowhere, they are just making noise. The feds have no jurisdiction on this case at all.

Har! Who would have thought Ted Olson would end up sharing a hot tub with David Boies? Barbara must be spinning in her grave. And I bet Arianna Huffington is having a good chuckle.

If the people of California had voted to ban interracial marriage, it would have been the responsibility of the courts to say that they cannot do that under the constitution.

Ok mr Olsen, when homosexual coitus can produce babies then homosexual unions meet the basic qualification for marriage.

" If the people of California had voted to ban interracial marriage, it would have been the responsibility of the courts to say that they cannot do that under the constitution.

Oi vay....doesn't anybody understand logic and reason anymore. Race, like religion, class, etc., are restrictions on the principle, or premise, of marriage. Unreasonable restrictions as they are (and therefore, discriminatory) they don't violate the premise of one man (or one male) and one woman (or one female)

Same sex marriage is not a restriction, it is a redefinition of the principle itself and creates an entirely new premise.

The two are not logically analogous.

There’s always been one thing I never liked about Ted Olson...He’s a Lawyer.

Olson is an attorney. I never did think he was a real conservative icon. That said, Barry Richards(I think that was the guy that argued at the SCOTUS for Bush against Algore), was a democrat, but he took the case.

The attorney for El Rushbo was most likely a lib, but he took the case.

if you get my drift.......

Are there no Republican men of principal? I know he is a lawyer but he is not obligated to take this case. I doubt he needs the money. When is the last time a RAT crossed the line to help a Repub cause?

Lawyering is a business, a lawyer doesn’t have to believe in his clients mindset or agenda.

There are lawyers who KNOW their client is guilty of the criminal charges against them but they’ll work their butt’s off him or her for the paycheck.

So, just how many Muslim majority countries recognize gay fag lez marriage as a legal and accepted union? Just curious....all the commies and all other anti-American dipsticks need to be asked that question in public.
