Nah, Ted's a true believer. From the Daily News:

In the lawsuit, Olson and Boies argue that relegating same-sex couples to domestic partnerships instead of giving them full marriage privileges violates the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Olson sought to allay suspicions from some gay advocates that he has sided with anti-gay positions in the past by declaring his unconditional support for same-sex marriage.

"These are our neighbors, co-workers, teachers, friends and family, and courtesy of Proposition 8 California now prohibits them from exercising this basic, fundamental right of humanity," Olson said.

"Whatever discrimination California law now might permit, I can assure you, the United States Constitution does not."

These are our neighbors, co-workers, teachers, friends and family, and courtesy of Proposition 8 California now prohibits them from exercising this basic, fundamental right of humanity,” Olson said

So according to Mr Olsen engaging in immoral perversions are fundamental rights of humanity?
According to how? According to what? Certainly not to the founder who wrote the US Constituion which Mr Olsen is preparing to abuse...........

This is the same guy who lost his wife on 9/11? Who won Bush v. Gore? What’s up with that?

Proposition 8 California now prohibits them from exercising this basic, fundamental right of humanity," Olson said.

Lawyers just love the hyperbole by assertion. Defying reason and logic means nothing to them, but

asserting something, repeating it and emphasizing it, does not make it so.

The California Supreme said as much and the USSC has consistently ruled the same way.

Looking at the bright side, letting the perverts spend a few more tens of millions$ on another failed attempt to hijack the word Marriage --- and nothing else --- is good for the economy.

"These are our neighbors, co-workers, teachers, friends and family, and courtesy of Proposition 8 California now prohibits them from exercising this basic, fundamental right of humanity," Olson said.

It shouldn't be necessary to state the obvious, but...

Perhaps it is his neighbors, co-workers, teachers(!), friends and family, but certainly not mine, nor anyone I associate with anywhere. I refer specifically to perverts who are militant, irrational and want to hijack a word, "marriage."

As for "...this basic, fundamental right of humanity?" Funny, it didn't exist in 1150; not in 1750; or even in 1950. It sprang, full grown, in the aftermath of the pathetic whine for pervert "tolerance"--- in the late 1970s.
