David French on efforts to air the Prop. 8 Trial on TV

David French, Director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, writing at Phi Beta Cons: “‘Thrust themselves into the public eye?’ ‘Assumed a public face?’ This is dangerous reasoning. Let’s think for a moment about what actually happened here. The California Supreme Court thrust same-sex marriage onto the people of California in a sterling example of undemocratic judicial activism. At this point, California citizens had a choice to make: take the medicine they’d been given, or ‘assume a public face’ and actually put the matter to a vote. Does that make them ‘fair game’ for threats and intimidation?”
