Constitutional Freedom

Generally speaking, I could care less about Proposition 8. Or California, for that matter.

I do care about government. I think it should be as limited as possible. That includes government staying out of people's private lives and not intruding on individual liberties and freedoms. I care about that a lot.

Theodore (Ted) B. Olson

Considered a leading Constitutional expert on the Bill of Rights

Self-described Libertarian - advocate for personal freedoms and limited government

Founding member - Federialist Society - "To promote the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be."

Appointed by President Reagan - Assistant United State Attorney General - Justice Department

Defense attorney represented President Reagan - Iran-Contra

Appointed by President George W. Bush - Solicitor General of the United States

Finalist (twice) - consideration for nomination as Justice to the Supreme Court of the United States by President Bush (nominated Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito respectively)

Mr. Olson represented President George W. Bush and argued President Bush’s case in Bush v.

This man "gets it." Oh, and the Judge? A Bush appointee also.

True conservatism - not the teabagger fake conservatism crap.
