Gay Marriage On the Road to the Supreme Court

The two lawyers who faced each other in the infamous Bush v. Gore case have teamed up to fight against the constitutionality of Proposition 8.

Ted Olson in this article makes what he calls the conservative case for gay marriage. If you are or think you are against gay marriage, you should read this piece. Olson clearly lays out how it is unconstitutional for a majority vote to take away the rights of a minority or to deny a minority important rights.

We will see over the next few years if this is the gay marriage equivalent of Loving. v. Virginia.

Interestingly, even though the case names Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, both he and the states Attorney General Jerry Brown have refused to defend Prop 8 because they also view it as unconstitutional.
