Prop 8 overturned.

Life is good.

And before you think it was “liberal, activist judges and lawyers” who nullified the proposition, read the quotes from CBSNews.com.

The judge who rule on the case was described as, “The longtime federal judge was appointed by President Reagan.” Admittedly, judges can change their conservative for liberal stripes (or vice versa), but he wasn’t one of those commie sympathizers nominated by a Democrat.

But the big surprise was the two lawyers who worked for gay rights.

“Former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson delivered the closing argument for opponents of the ban. He told Judge Walker that tradition or fears of harm to heterosexual unions were legally insufficient grounds to discriminate against gay couples.”

“Olson teamed up with David Boies to argue the case, bringing together the two litigators best known for representing George W. Bush and Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election.”

Hmm, could gays and lesbian be the unifying force in this country?
