You better sit down for this one!

This just in from Fox News:

My Fellow Conservatives, Think Carefully About Your Opposition to Gay Marriage -- by Margaret Hoover ["conservative commentator and Fox News contributor"]


Conservatives cannot deny that our Founders intended the judiciary as an equal and independent branch of government purposed to ensure the protection of every citizen’s rights.

The Supreme Court has previously ruled that the right to marry is a fundamental constitutional right.

When an unpopular minority is denied the right to marry, it is indeed the role of the courts to protect the rights of that minority, especially when a majority would deny them.
Read the rest here ... (who'd have thunk it????)

  1. I know several conservatives who are on the side of marriage equality. Not everyone is a Sarah Palin nutcase.
