Same Sex Marriage… The Real Issue

Many of us have observed with interest the recent “Same Sex Marriage” lawsuit/trial. Here is a video that I consider quite instructive. It is a Fox News video piece of Chris Wallace interviewing Ted Olson. Olson was the lead counsel representing the people suing the State of California against Proposition 8. Feel free …to comment after viewing. (There are two parts. Watching both takes less than 15 minutes.)

By the way, Ted Olson is quite an interesting person. He is a well known Conservative. He represented George W. Bush in the Bush vs. Gore court proceedings that ended up before the Supreme Court in 2000. Later he was President Bush’s Solicitor General, representing the White House in actions before the Supreme Court. His wife, Barbara Olson, conservative television commentator and lawyer who worked for Fox News Channel, was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77 en route to a taping of the television show “Politically Incorrect” when it was flown into the Pentagon in the September 11 attacks.
