[Apologetics] Edwin Meese III: Stacking the Deck Against Proposition 8

[Art Kelly]

Former Attorney Gen. Edwin Meese III writes in the NY Times
<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/11/opinion/11meese.html> : 


"The entire premise of this litigation is disquieting - that traditional
marriage is nothing but 'the residue of centuries of figurative and
literal gay bashing,' as David Boies, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, has
written . . . It's disquieting that the trial is taking place in San
Francisco, probably the venue most likely to support gay marriage . . .
But most disquieting for supporters of traditional marriage is a series
of pretrial rulings issued by Judge Vaughn R. Walker that have the
effect of putting the sponsors of Proposition 8, and the people who
voted for it, on trial."
