Re: Va. AG's office: Gay marriage ban unconstitutional
Yes, priorities shift with the election of different people, and Herring in fact campaigned on marriage equality so there was no shock there. Is there any reason to believe that the AG is specifically breaking the oaths of his office? Is he or is he not within his rights?
And to answer your question, yes, I do prefer that elected officials hold the same beliefs as myself, and am disappointed when they don't.
Or taxes, or education, or businesses, or the environment...let's just go hog wild interjecting ideology heavily into yet another sector of government. Or are you in favor of it only when it's being done towards things you agree with?
