This is so wrong:
First, could someone tell me and, especially you Rick, what this has to do
with election law.
Second, your headline is not even close to even describing what the article
said.
Third, the only statement that arguably reflects any statement I made in
the article is this one, of course ignoring everything else I said:
"Jim Bopp Jr., a conservative Indiana delegate on the platform, said the
old platform language on same-sex marriage is no longer appropriate since
last year's landmark Supreme Court ruling that allowed same-sex couples to
marry nationwide."
Here the CBS Reporter failed to report the detail of my statement, making
it grossly misleading. What I said was that the sentence in the 2012 GOP
platform that calls for states to adopt putting traditional marriage in their
state conventions is now obsolete because of the Supreme Court decision. I
then said that what we need to add to the platform, because of the Supreme
Court decision on same sex marriage. is to call for that decision to be
overturned.
Fourth, right after that paragraph, I said:
"This won't change the core of the issue, Bopp told CBS News."
So, come on Rick, what a ridiculous headline. Jim Bopp
