She has three strikes against her anyway. She's female, she's educated (making her unqualified because she's been poisoned by peer-reviewed study), and she's been to an Ivy League school run by the liberal elite.

Yeah, that happens when the will of the majority crushes the rights of the minority. Call it justice, or call it a shame, either way, it works.

Not quite.
I was going to make another thread on this simply because the court case going on now is huge. The ramifications are monumental and I'm surprised it was attempted now (although not unhappy, mind you). The fact that Olson is involved on the side of same-sex marriage is fantastic.

A snippet from the article wrote:
Many of my fellow conservatives have an almost knee-jerk hostility toward gay marriage. This does not make sense, because same-sex unions promote the values conservatives prize. Marriage is one of the basic building blocks of our neighborhoods and our nation. At its best, it is a stable bond between two individuals who work to create a loving household and a social and economic partnership. We encourage couples to marry because the commitments they make to one another provide benefits not only to themselves but also to their families and communities. Marriage requires thinking beyond one's own needs. It transforms two individuals into a union based on shared aspirations, and in doing so establishes a formal investment in the well-being of society. The fact that individuals who happen to be gay want to share in this vital social institution is evidence that conservative ideals enjoy widespread acceptance. Conservatives should celebrate this, rather than lament it.

Being charitable typically never leads to interesting Asylum threads, from my typically lurker perspective.
