A rebuttal to Theodore Olson

By Alliance Alert

Jeffrey Lord responds to Olson's "Conservative Case for Gay Marriage" in The American Spectator: "The fact that Olson seeks to impose the values of a handful of elite lawyers and judges on the people of California when they have made their views not only plain but constitutionally plain under the law is what concerns. Mr. Olson's 'lifetime of exposure to persons of different backgrounds, histories, viewpoints, and intrinsic characteristics" is apparently limited to a resulting sympathy for gays . . . [I]t seems inescapable here that Olson has erred. If he has the passion he expresses for gay marriage, then his time would be more constructively spent for his cause convincing the voters of California and indeed other states. Seek consensus, convince, persuade, make the case. But, outstanding lawyer or not, resist the temptation to 'resolve' this by judicial fiat.'"
