Orrin Hatch: “Absolutely true. By the way, one of the arguments that the side across the aisle from us is out of the mainstream again…”

Absolutely true. By the way, one of the arguments that the side across the aisle from us is out of the mainstream again is over parental consent, a dissent that she had written, upholding the finder of fact in the lower court.

Guess who is out of the mainstream? I thank the Senator.
