Theodore Olson’s Road to Championing Same-Sex Marriage – NYTimes.com: “”

This article doesn’t do much to explain Ted Olson’s interest in litigating in favor of equal marriage rights. Here’s what I got out of it:

1. He stood up for a black teammate once back in the 60’s.
2. He’s got a so slight you can barely see it libertarian bent.
3. He doesn’t go to church.
4. He’s got personal convictions.

And that’s about it! His conservative friends can’t figure it out either, I guess. I hope he’ll be remembered for furthering our freedoms rather than winning Bush v. Gore. Maybe he does too.

One to add to my “bad prosecutor” posts. The message here is, if you’re accused of a crime it is better not to be a member of a despised minority group.
