发帖数: 4174 | 1 A prominent conservative voice and former presidential candidate, Jon
Huntsman, now backs marriage equality, he announced today in an editorial.
Headlined "Marriage Equality Is a Conservative Cause," the former Utah
governor and failed Republican presidential candidate wrote in The American
Conservative that "we need to take a hard look at what today’s conservatism
stands for."
He called marriage equality "the right thing to do" and warned that
Republicans will continue to lose national elections if the party doesn't
evolve. "The American people will not hear us out if we stand against their
friends, family, and individual liberty," he wrote.
"Marriage is not an issue that people rationalize through the abstract lens
of the law; rather it is something understood emotionally through one’s own
experience with family, neighbors, and friends," Huntsman wrote. "The party
of Lincoln should stand with our best tradition of equality and support
full civil marriage for all Americans."
Huntsman, a Mormon, was already known as one of the more moderate candidates
on LGBT equality. He served as President Obama's ambassador to China, and
that close tie helped keep his campaign for president from taking off. As
Utah's governor, Hunstman supported civil unions and continued to back only
that kind of recognition while a candidate for president.
"Civil unions, I believed, were a practical step that would bring all
citizens more fully into the fabric of a state they already were—and always
had been—a part of," he explained today. "That was four years ago. Today
we have an opportunity to do more: conservatives should start to lead again
and push their states to join the nine others that allow all their citizens
to marry." |

gay marriage 今年没有悬念了。
高院判决说不定来个8-1，剩下一个scalia自己坚守阵地。

没变。高院判决没有悬念，悬念是几比几，那些保守派会倒戈。
至于说国会会不会讨论以立法形式将respect marriage act取代DOMA，
不好说，不过有可能。

判决的内容就跟政治氛围没有多大关系。
判决的范围指什么？高院还是回答那几个问题，不会增加减少。
NYT不是也说了么，这个amicus brief对高院产生不了多少影响，
最多就是保守派法官能转身转得自如点儿。

不知道。我只知道Jim Lehrer为了避免主持新闻节目的bias，从来不投票。
