Barbara Olson was Ted's third wife, so without being judgemental I think it's pretty safe to say that his ideas about the sanctity of marriage aren't quite the same as those who would call themselves "the Religious Right" in this country.

I think Ronald Reagan had two wives, and Ted Olson was his lawyer. How do you read those tea leaves?

I read those tea leaves like this...When Mike Reagan came and spoke to our Tea Party, he gave us the scoop on his Dad’s first marriage.
He told us that it was Jane Wyman who wanted the divorce, not Reagan. He said his father tried to keep the marriage together, but she no longer wanted to be married to him.
It broke his heart.

Since you are relating things from your own experience, here is mine. My wife and I were invited guests to Barbara and Ted Olson’s wedding. We were friends of both.

Unlike race which is a characteristic of the physical body, society experiences a person's sexuality through their behavior. And society has the right to take behavior into account when making law. This makes homosexuality and race fundamentally different when it comes to how society defines marriage. The same logic does not apply to both. Thus it's entirely possible for Cruz to make a valid argument against homosexual marriage that would have been invalid if made against interracial marriage. The fact that he's making it does not make him a bigot or retrograde; it makes him correct.

Barbara Olsen would not agree

She was a likable woman. Of course my only encounters with her were through my TV.

Barbara Olson's successor and Ted's fourth and current wife
Lady Booth Olson is apparently quite the die-hard liberal and lifelong democrat.

I’m not reading the tea leaves at all, except to suggest that Ted Olson’s idea of what constitutes a “marriage” is a hell of a lot different than mine.

I’m not the least bit surprised to hear that. I think a lot of career Beltway @ssholes have leftist spouses.

Just lost all respect for Olson. It is no way analagous to racism. One’s race is an immutable characteristic of human beings and should never be used to discriminate. Alternatively, one’s sexual behavior is a personal choice, despite claims that individuals are born gay. The bottom line is that society has a right to define marriage as a union between a man and woman.

Ted Olson is a social liberal. However, he is a very, very good lawyer.
