Jim, 
My  apologies for drawing the wrong inference from the article’s statement 
that  you believed the old platform language was no longer appropriate.  I 
will  update my post with this response from you. 
(As for  what it has do with election law----I post items of political 
interest on my  blog on issues beyond election law. Indeed, I spend and have 
spent a great  deal of time discussing Supreme Court confirmations, even though 
that is not  election law. A few years ago we had a listserv discussion 
about whether I  should not circulate those items, and the conclusion of that 
discussion was  that I should still circulate those items.) 
Regardless, I do apologize for  misunderstanding your position from my 
reading of the article and will  update. 
Rick

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
