ADAM GROVES: “Senate Republican Caucus Chairman Jeff Miller is currently going through a divorce with his wife over allegations that he had an affair with a Senate staffer. Ironically, Miller is the sponsor of the state’s Marriage Protection Act aimed at preventing gay marriages or unions from happening in Tennessee.”

Brian Anderson’s South Park Conservatives (which I’ve now finished) notes that campus conservatives seem to split with middle-aged ones on the question of gay marriage, not least because they’ve seen so much marital hypocrisy from their parents’ generation. As one student observes, heterosexuals have already done plenty to cheapen marriage.

UPDATE: Ann Althouse has related thoughts occasioned by a Russ Feingold speech:

I would never have said this out loud, but I couldn’t help thinking how interesting it was that Feingold shaped his whole lecture around the sanctity of the oath, when just a few days ago he announced that he was getting a divorce, his second. Was I the only who thought how strange it was to hear a man piously invoke a passionate fidelity to an oath when he had — so conspicuously — gone back on the marriage oath twice?

But I like Senator Feingold. I do think he’s a good man. I don’t presume to know what happens to people in their marriages, and I am divorced myself. Nevertheless, he could have discussed his devotion to the Constitution from some perspective other than the fact that he’d sworn an oath. Taking an oath to the Constitution, after all, is not the strongest reason to support it.

Her commenters discuss whether the oaths are comparable.
