Our co-founder Maggie Gallagher hosted a panel discussion Saturday morning at CPAC which included, among others, our Chairman Prof. John Eastman.
Here is a video of John Eastman's speech for those of you who missed it -- the packed ballroom responded really enthusiastically to his contributions, even giving him a standing ovation -- see for yourself!

I wasn't able to watch it. It kept stopping and starting from the beginning.
Tried for 30 min to make this run!!!
Any videos of one of the white supremacist groups attending CPAC? Va Dare, had a panel on how multicultural diversity is ruining the US. Ah, the company that NOM keeps.
Ken,
Thanks for demonstrating the penchant marriage corruptions supporters have for malicously confusing the intent of language - again.
Multicultarlism stands in direct opposition to the idea of a uniquley American culture. Opposition to Multicultarism can no more be equal to racism than same-sex pairings is to opposite-sex pairings.
Randy, is English your second language?
Come on Ken; did I try to minimize the validity of your rediculous assertion by pointing out your puntuation error?
"Ken Dare(,) had a panel..."
Could it be what you are trying to convey to your audience is that you are incappable of articulating a rational defense of your depravity because none exist?
You tell it Randy. Good for you. Anytime anyone brings up a rational argument as to why two men having sex does not equal marriage, the SSM enablers attack with vicious comments that have no basis in truth or reality.
Ken,
Could you quote or supply the video link to anything that was actually said by any speaker at CPAC that was white supremacist rhetoric? Anything that matches the rhetoric at Trinity United Church of Christ, which you will remember was President Obama's church in Chicago with the Reverent Jeremiah Wright?
Neither the left nor the right should practice guilt by association.
Great speech! So glad I was able to watch a clip after all of the previous technological problems.

Because they oppose Multiculturalism which we all know is a proven failure.
White Nationalist at CPAC

Mr. Eastman is so inspiring, with leaders of this caliber, I believe we can save and protect marriage. Thank you NOM!
The 9th Circuit stated that you campain was irrational and that the public responded to your bigotry. Presenting your cause as irrational. They stated you duped the public.
Furthermore, The appeals panel found that it was unconstitutional to take away rights from a group that have already been granted, when the reason for removing such rights is moral animus. Furthermore, the 9th Circuit panel’s decision stressed how important the word and designation of “marriage” is, and maintained that civil unions and domestic partnerships which grant such rights but withhold that designation are not equal to full marriage rights.
Rewording the decision in such a way as to call those who voted on such hateful ballot measure, Run by hate filled people posing as a religious organization, basing the ballot on hate filled lies regarding same sex marriages. The witness seat is a lonely place to lie. ,
I wonder why no one from NOM, AFR, FOF The Ruth Institute, NARTH. and your ilk did not take the stand. Own it, take the stand, let people see you for who you Truly are. You are a fear mongering, money scheme. paying yourselves hundreds of thousands yearly to push bigotry, Fear, and Lies.
The tens of millions you raise could have really helped the poor. You are robbers and poor stewards of gods money. You lack charity in your hearts. You have become the Anti-Christ spoken of in the new testament. Congratulations.
BTW! John Eastman is a lawyer available to the highest bidder. He would fight just as powerfully for marriage equality. HUGH FAIL!
@Ken
It looks to me like a white nationalist, using his First Amendment rights, was trying to recruit people at CPAC and utterly failing in the attempt. He was not a speaker. He was not endorsed by CPAC. And the attendees weren't buying his line. This is the way democracy is supposed to work.
@Gavin Press
Your post drips with animus, but it is your judicial philosophy that I take particular issue with.
It is dangerous in the extreme to fail to distinguish between legislative facts v adjudicative facts lest the courts commence a reign of terror using a bogus perjury line of assault, backed up by a further assault conflating philosophical positions with irrationality and insanity. To even submit to such a trial is to cooperate with tyranny,
"For those of us who are devotees of both history and literature, we recognize, with a shudder, this line of thinking starts with the ad hominem retort, “Oh yeah? Well, you’re crazy!” and ends by populating gulags (mental illness being a primary grounds for imprisonment by dictators) with candidates for sanity retraining (i.e., one’s conformity with the dictator’s views)."

Yes, the gulag is a lonely place when a judge can put you there for merely expressing your opinion in his public heresy trial.
John Eastman is a lawyer, but lawyers don't necessarily work for the highest bidder. You are merely trying to vilify him with your silly and unproven charge.
