Early Thought On The Supreme Court Battle

Not time to write much today. Still off from work, and using the time to get some badly-needed work done around the house in preparation of bringing children home from Russia. Hope to have a normal post back up tomorrow. In the mean time, I wanted to at least make a quick initial comment about the impending battle over the Supreme Court.

Newsmax is reporting this morning that Senator Charles Schumer of New York has strongly intimated that gay marriage could be a major issue in the upcoming confirmation battle over Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s replacement on the Supreme Court.

Speaking on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday talk show regarding the confirmation process, Mr. Schumer stated, “All questions are legitimate. What is your view on Roe vs. Wade? What is your view on gay marriage?”

This is an interesting thing for the Senator to say, as he has spoken out against gay marriage, and voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, but considering the relative positions of the major parties on this issue, the implication is clear: If anyone is going to make an issue out of a particular nominee’s opposition to gay marriage, it will be the minority Democrats in the Senate.

To this proposition, this conservative can only say one thing to Mr. Schumer and his Democrat colleagues:

Please do.
