I am starting to like this guy because of his mixed record. Yesterday, it was reported that he served as a consultant for a gay rights group. I think we need such folks on the Supreme Court who can see all sides of a issue. AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON I AM STARTING TO LIKE THIS GUY IS BECAUSE HE IS ALREADY GETTING THE ULTRA RIGHT PISSED OFF BECAUSE OF HIS MIXED RECORD.

He even helped gay rights activists win a landmark Supreme Court anti-discrimination case.
