The Other Side's Argument

Michael Petrelis was at the court on day one of the Prop 8 trial. His impression:

Two words come to mind as opposing attorney Charles Cooper presents his opening arguments: hesitant speaker. Coming after the wonderful preparation, smoothness and expert delivery of Olson, Cooper was a letdown. Damn hard to sense much of his self-confidence. He also gets too jittery at the lectern. His central point is that marriage must and does equal procreation. Huh? That's going to be his argument? We should easily win, if it is.
