Olsen is a conservative ...he disagrees with you on this issue ....he agrees with Dick Cheney.....

Simply incorrect. Olsen argues that the Constitution, as of 1871, already required recognition of gay marriage, and therefore that state voters do not even get to weigh in on the matter.

Cheney believes that it IS up to a state-level vote (and has said he would vote in favor of it).

There is a huge difference between saying, "I favor it, but it doesn't matter because it's already in the Constitution" (Olsen and other whatever-I-want-is-constitutionally-required liberals) and saying "It's up to state voters, and I personally would vote yes" (Cheney).

There is nothing conservative about arguing that gay marriage was "already in the Constitution" as of 1871.

are you a lawyer?
Olsen is a lawyer and as I understand it one of the best.

Lawyers also disagree.
That does not make him a liberal.

My only ponit is on this board any non conformity is frowned on ,,,

Freedom means just that ...People are free to disagree,

Its healthier
