Alternate title: The Apple Fell From From The Tree. I am certain that Mike Wallace has lain awake at night in despair that he didn't go all SPARTA! on his dimwit son.
One of the best things about being a blogger in the age of YouTube is that you don't have to keep having the same struggles and arguments over and over again. Often the only response necessary is already out there. I believe that anytime a coworker, or commenter or terrified teabagger supports oppression through the righteous might of superior voting numbers, or wails in futility about judicial activism favoring someone who isn't them, they should be coerced into watching this incredible interview with Ted Olson.
Is that news caster asking the questions deaf or just stupid? He basically asked the same question four times. The attorney was articulate and explained the situation clearly - the Judge ruled (in keeping with previous decisions of the Supreme Court) and the right to marraige is a fundamental right and therefore protected under the 14th amendment.. What part of that was hard to understand?

This is the best thing I've ever watched on Fox News. How did they let someone so smart get interviewed?

That, was awesome.

Cowgirl, the answer to your question comes from Chris Wallace (the supposed journalist conducting the interview). Most of his questions boiled down to the same tired whine.
"But ... But, you're a conservative? HOW COULD YOU BETRAY US SO!"
In the FOX news country of Conservo-world, agreement with identity trumps intelligence every time. I simply don't think it dawned on anyone there that Olson could have those fancy liberal leanings, like principles. After all; they don't.
