Just to go out on a limb here, doesn’t supporting a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage on the federal level represent a very real form of “judgment” about the people and relationships that are granted the official stamp of legitimacy and those that aren’t?

This consideration doesn’t seem to inform Sarah Palin’s stance on the issue, as evidenced by this clip from an interview Palin did over the weekend with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “I’m not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can’t do, should and should not do,” she told Brody during their exchange, which was broadcast on Monday.
