  • Attorney Ted Olson, a star in conservative legal circles, has argued 65 cases before the U.S Supreme Court, on issues ranging from the disputed 2000 election and money in politics, to same-sex marriage and the children of illegal immigrants. But his stance has not always reflected traditional conservative doctrine. Olson talked with correspondent Mo Rocca about overcoming polarization, and about his marriage, which demonstrates that opposites attract.

    I respect that Ted Olsen finally evolved and went from restrictive to inclusive, and represented real people with huge issues, but Ted, the final step in your CITIZEN'S UNITED argument should have been... if Corporations are People as you argued and won, then they must be taxed as people... period.

    Interesting piece. And I appreciate what he's trying to say about civility... but also, Citizens United has dramatically hastened the push of media into polarization, and created a LOT of today's uncivilized "discourse." (if you can even call it that) Also, in many people's hearts & minds, Citizens United helped fund and elevate corporate disinformation above properly sourced journalism. Feels like he's just trying to clean-up/white-wash/rationalize his personal history a little.

      I've lost two husbands. The best advice I read was in 1990:
      "There will be OTHERS... there will NEVER BE ANOTHER, but there WILL BE OTHERS."
      How true! I don't COMPARE my husbands or lovers... I CELEBRATE each of them for their unique qualities, and what we brought/ bring to each others lives!

    I, for one, don't consider him a famous attorney. Johnny Cochran was a famous attorney. He argued at the Supreme Court for Bush in Bush against Gore for the presidency, the Crown Jewel in politics. When asked why he won he gave an offhand answer, "Because we were right" to a serious question. He argued for Citizens United, which in my mind anyway, makes him one of the bad 'uns.
