Props to Ted Olson and David Boies for defending
the end of discrimination and the necessary acknowledgment of equality and human rights, despite their political differences.

They have done so well, and I salute them!

7. I just heard Ted Olson talking major sense on Maddow.....
how civil rights is a conservative and liberal issue, and ought to unite us all.

Jeebus.

Ted Olson talking sense. My personal Hell just froze over....

8. I know, but I'm glad we can acknowledge when someone
