Rutten opposes intimidation

LAT columnist Tim Rutten wrote on Saturday's op-ed page that intimidation of California Supreme Court justices by threat of recall is unfair but finds no fault with gays' intimidation of voters by blocking intersections and access to churches and temples. Proposition 8 was a low and dishonest affair financed by religious organizations which are obligated to stay out of such matters, Rutten argues. If Proposition 8 had been something Rutten favored, it's likely his views on forms of intimidation would flip.
