4. I have a good feeling about this since Ted Olson is arguing against Prop. 8.

I think Ted Olson, who was U.S. Solicitor General under Bush, will have the court's ear. He is one of them. I have wondered why Olson took on this case, and this cause. Perhaps he wants to rehabilitate his legacy after Bush v. Gore (Olson was the Republican attorney who argued for Bush in that travesty of a case). Either that or the life-long Democrat he married in 2006 has something to do with it....
