What you should get from the link is that she's a lawyer before being either a Republican or Democrat. As a lawyer, she regards gay marriage as a matter of equity between two individuals, without consideration for its effect on children as a matter of equity. Lawyers are relatively incapable of dealing with issues beyond two parties or interests, not so much due to intellect as to the seeing the world through the adversarial lens.

You make an interesting point.

Of course lawyers are paid to represent one party over another in a conflict and to make plans for and take precautions against any such occurrence.

See post 65.

I wish to add that one of the reasons that "gay marriage" as an issue should not be decided in courtrooms is because the case brought to them will only involve the two adults with standing in that case. Shouldn't future children be represented? Legal mechanism doesn't give them standing or consideration.
