Maggie Gallagher: Chuck Cooper Strikes Back

Maggie Gallagher writes at Townhall: “When you read the devastating brief that attorney Charles Cooper filed asking the 9th Circuit to overrule Walker, it’s not hard to see why. It is a total smack-down of Walker’s decision to ignore the immense amount of evidence brought to him — not to dispute it, but to simply ignore it . . . To give you an example of how extreme Walker is, he ruled that orientation is a protected class subject to strict scrutiny — ignoring no less than 10 higher-court decisions to the contrary.”
