THIS COCKSUKER IS A GONER NEXT ELECTION!

I HAVE THE BELIEF THAT WE WILL GET SONE REAL LEADERSHIP IN 2010. NOT THESE POSERS THAT WE HAVE NOW!

When is Miss David going to fix the HIV problem in his city, probably never because he sits on the committee for health. Go figure a homo on a health committee that has an HIV rate higher than Africa.

People like this guy are all throughout the government and city councils across america. Defending a specific position which has not real affect on the important issues. If you dont like fags or gays good for you and you are a good america. I cant understand how people get pushed around and dont stand up for what they believe. Well look at Miss David Catania.

Jeremy- This lady got into the fray utilizing her professional credentials. Catania has every right to point out fallacies in her argument, not only to her, but the entire world. She would have done the same to him. In fact, that was the point of her getting involved. And trust, I want my law professor to actually know the fucking law. If she doesn't, all of her students and eventually the clients they represent will be affected.
His actions aren't any different than a straight person pointing out and publicizing inconsistencies. This point has not to do with religious principles. If this debate was really about religious principles, do unto your others, love your neighbor, respect for other people, and a host of others would supercede banning homosexuals from having the same rights as others.

I am no big fan of David Catania. The man does strike me as "a bit nasty', but I think he has every right to point out someone's factual errors. What I object to, and what I think is very telling here, is the fact that he sent a copy of his letter essentially to this person's boss and the bar authorities. In other words, he went after her job. By doing that, he has essentially validated the claims of his opponents that legalizing same sex marriage will result in a politically motivated witch hunt where people with opposing views will be demonized and worse. His actions are a perfect example of the dangers of same-sex marriage to anyone with religious principles. Thanks for pointing it out!

Regardless of how anyone feels about David Catania, he laid a well reasoned, and properly researched smackdown on a bigot trying to hide behind her esq and rewrite the common law to her own liking. Way to go! pwnd is right!

Sorry to disillusion you, "U.S.Citizen" ("Miss David Catania is a racist white Republican bigot. I hope he leaves this earth soon.") but David Catania is an Independent, not a Republican, serving on the D.C. City Council.

The only thing more shocking than Wilson's blatant lying, is the commenters here criticizing Catania. If "calling out someone who blatantly lies in testimony" is political correctness run amok, then I sincerely hope that it runs amok far more often than it does. I sure wish we had more racist white republican bigots in government, since it seems they are the only people who won't stand for bald-faced lies.

Catania did what real lawyers are trained to do: he read the cases. Shame on the W&L law prof for spouting nonsense cloaked in legalese. Stay in VA, please.

funny how these "christians" throw unnecessary tantrums about preserving their religious freedom. but when it's someone else's religious freedom, then that's another story. the story is that their religion is better. my religion recognizes all marriages (both same and opposite gender). so easy on the David Catania is arrogant crap. it's the un-Christian Catholic church that's using its hubris, sense of entitlement and ego to issue this statement basically stating that only their religious freedom matters and those DCers who don't agree...well they'll just take their blocks and go somewhere else.

It's time for Washington & Lee University to fire law professor Robin Fretwell Wilson, for intentional misrepresentation and unethical behavior.

Robin Fretwell Wilson should lose her license to practice law.

I agree about the arrogant religious people. David Catania is a perfect example of an open mind full of nothing but itself - his "religion" is political correctness run amok. You can hear the arrogance drip from his words (it's obviously all about him) How sad that he seems willing to allow his ego threaten to interfere with a charity which has helped many thousands of people in D.C.
