...Mr. Olson reasons he is only doing what he believes is right in trying to secure marriage rights for gay couples.

Sure. This guy is about as conservative as Barbara Boxer.

[Oldexpat]

The measure did not pass by a narrow margin. Where’d they get that notion?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

” This guy is about as conservative as Barbara Boxer. “

He’s in it for his cut of the money.

We’re a republic, not a democracy. The rule of law supercedes majority opinion. The majority cannot rightfully do whatever an individual citizen has no right to do, since the powers and rights of the majority derive utterly from the rights and powers of each citizen. So it’s valid to have judicial review of any law passed by the voters regarding the Constitutionality of said law.

The government won’t take NO for an answer.

In his defense of same-sex marriage he has shocked the left, angered the right and redefined the meaning of conservative, but Mr. Olson reasons he is only doing what he believes is right in trying to secure marriage rights for gay couples.

No, he hasn't "redefined" the meaning of conservative, he's presented a stark contrast to it. You aren't considered a conservative when you AREN'T conservative.

But if Olsen would be utterly honest and follow his line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, exactly what "relationships" could now not be barred? Why only couples? What about pederasts, who "are who they are?"

What a lame-brained argument he has. If this is what he's going on, considering the vast amount of case law against him, I can't imagine it being even close.

Breaks my heart to see what Ted Olsen has become.

I believe he is also MORMON, but not 100% sure.

The homosexual activists are going to keep filing multiple suits, much like the left is doing against Sarah Palin. Perhaps the solution is to countersue each time.

[Rockingham]

The judge is a Bush I appointee and is said to have a libertarian bent. This looks like a cooked up case with a made in advance result.

[microgood]

If this wins, will they have to change tax laws too? I think the Feds should stay out of defining what a word means. If they get in that business,we should sue to get back the word gay which was stolen by the homosexuals.

Votes do count in Kalifornia, but only when voters “get it right!”

[trumandogz]

Mr. Olson also reiterated his opposition to Prop. 8 and reminded the Court the ban was “utterly without justification” and creates a social system in which gays and lesbians were “second class citizens.”

I hate to say this, but Ted Olson will take this case to the SCOTUS and Win based on the 14th Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause.

At the SCOTUS Olson will have the votes of Justices, Stevens, Ginsburg, Breyer and Sotomayor.

In addition he will have the vote of Justice Kennedy who not only voted in the Majority in Lawrence v. Texas but wrote the Majority Opinion in Lawrence v. Texas.

[SUSSA]

Olson never was a conservative. On this issue though he's gone off the deep end. He isn't even rational.

There is no discrimination in not allowing same sex “marriage”. A homo can marry any one woman he or she can get to marry him just like straights can.

Keeping a same sex couple from marrying is no more discrimination than keeping 3 people from marrying or keeping brother and sister from marrying.
