The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart says that conservative lawyer Ted “Olson delivers a succinct and eloquent rebuttal to conservative arguments against same-sex marriage.” You can read Olson’s words for yourself, but notice that they don’t really rebut the conservative argument against SSM, but rather merely repeats standard liberal talking points about allowing gays to marry (it’s a matter of equality and it is unAmerican to deny two people who love each other to marry one another, blah, blah, blah). Generally, the conservative argument against SSM is that traditional marriage is unique and the best way to raise children, an issue that Olson doesn’t even attempt to address.
