An interesting snippet Sullivan posted today, under the headline "How The GOP Gave Us Judicial Equality":
"The Prop 8 case now makes three consecutive judicial opinions holding that laws prohibiting same-sex marriages have no rational basis. Interestingly, all three were authored by judges who were nominated or appointed by Republicans. Today’s Northern District of California opinion was authored by Judge Vaughn Walker, who was nominated by Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Last month’s District of Massachusetts opinion was authored by Judge Joseph Tauro, who was nominated by Richard Nixon. The Iowa Supreme Court (unanimous) opinion was authored by Justice Mark Cady, who was appointed by Republican Governor Terry E. Branstad."
Anyone interested in exploring his reasoning for marriage equality as a conservative issue should check out most of today's posts. As Matthias notes, it is entirely rational, which was obviously his mistake.
