And the Amicus Brief that [the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty] filed in Prop 8's favor contained this scintillating quote:

"Although no one expects these religious adherents or their ministers to be required actually to conduct same-sex marriage ceremonies..."

Oh reeeeeeeally! Nice of you to say so. That's certainly at odds with the rhetoric during the campaign, when you assured frightened churchgoers that homosexuals were beating down churches' doors, demanding to be married by everyone in sight; and that Prop 8 was the only thing standing between ministers' freedom to choose whom to wed versus conscription into an chain gang of mandatory gay-marrying labor.
