PART 2 Gay Marriage Attorney Ted Olson on 'FNS' FULL Interview - FoxNews HQ.mp4

"Ted Olson To Chris Wallace On Marriage Equality: 'Would You Like Fox's Right To Free Press Put Up To A Vote?' This morning, Ted Olson — the conservative lawyer who represented President Bush in Bush v. Gore — appeared on Fox News Sunday to discuss his recent victory in overturning Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriages in California. Throughout the interview, host Chris Wallace attempted to trip up his guest with a series of familiar Republican talking points, all of which Olson repudiated. Wallace asked Olson to identify the right to same-sex marriage in the constitution and wondered why "seven million Californians" "don't get to say that marriage is between a man and a woman." Olson replied that the Supreme Court has ruled that marriage was a fundamental right and pointed out that the constitution made no explicit mention of interracial marriage either. He stressed that under our system of government, voters can't deprive minority groups of their constitutionally guaranteed protections and reminded Wallace that in the 1960s, "Californians voted to change their constitution to say that you could discriminate on the basis of race in the sale of your home; the United States Supreme Court struck that down." When Wallace pressed the point further, likening same-sex marriage to abortion and noting that "the political process in the case of same-sex marriage was working" since states had been deciding the issue on a "state-by-state basis," Olson asked Wallace how he ...

Lambda Lawyer: Narrowness of Same-Sex Marriage Ruling Is a Good Thing

Feb. 8 (Bloomberg Law) -- Kevin Cathcart, Executive Director of Lambda Legal, talks to Bloomberg Law's Lee Pacchia about yesterday's US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruling regarding same-sex marriage. The appeals court affirmed a lower court ruling that held California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage, violated the US Constitution. The narrowness of the ruling makes it more likely it will survive any appeals, he says.

outside courthouse Dec 6, 2010 - arguments on gay marriage

2 activists for prop 8 talk about the family being the center of our society while a gay man challenge them. (12-06) 18:10 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- The federal appeals court in the Proposition 8 case hinted Monday at a ruling that would allow gays and lesbians to marry in California while leaving other states' laws intact - a restrained approach seemingly designed to appeal to the US Supreme Court. Lawyers challenging the 2008 initiative urged the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to uphold a federal judge's ruling in August that Prop. 8 violated the US Constitution because its definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman discriminated on the basis of gender and sexual orientation. But in a nationally televised, 2 1/2-hour hearing, the three-judge appellate panel seemed intent on framing the case more narrowly before it reaches the Supreme Court. Judges Michael Hawkins and Stephen Reinhardt compared the case to a 1996 Supreme Court ruling overturning a Colorado initiative that prohibited local governments from enacting civil rights laws protecting gays and lesbians. Without deciding whether the Constitution banned all anti-gay discrimination, the high court said stripping rights from a minority group, for no apparent reason other than moral disapproval, was unconstitutional. What's different? Hawkins noted that California voters approved Prop. 8 six months after the state Supreme Court ruled that gays and lesbians had the right to marry. "How is ...
