Gays are not entitled to the best defense they can acquire?
What is Farah's main point? Lawyers should not defend gays? Is this supposed to be part of the conservative platform? This inquiring mind needs to know just about immediately.

Of course they are, but this was not a criminal case. This wa a constitutional question, and Roberts -- pro bono -- sided with the liberal judicial activists, taking a case that diminished states rights and increased judicial control over the legislative process. That is just exactly the kind of judicial activism we conservatives deplore.

But it must be OK because Dubya appoointed him, right? They attacked Howard Phillips when he testified against Souter. Now they attack Joe Farah and Ann Coulter for not supporting Roberts. I hope Roberts is the strict constructionist Scalia/Thomas type Justice we've been promised, but there were several candidates we know would be that kind of justice. That they weren't picked and this guy with little record was concerns me. Doesn't it concern you?
