In the historical moment that the supreme court ruled in favour of his worldview... Silence.
What a complete waste of a platform and a moment to celebrate science and logic and women's rights.
The dude let everyone down if I am honest.

Well I can sympathise with someone wanting to distance themselves from the madding crowd and outright not engage with or entertain the lunacy. It's partly why I don't venture into the politics subforum much. :hehe: And historically, society only really changes substantially when it wants to and, critically, when a movement has the backing of elite figures who can put up the money. It's regrettably not simply a case of one or two people getting on the tv and making a few logical points here and there, as would have been the case with Daley. So I sympathise with him not wanting to make a spectacle of himself over an issue that, as you say, the tide is already turning on anyway. :shrug:
On the other hand, having said all that in his defence, yes, maybe still not the best person to have put themselves up for the BB house lol.
