The Intercollegiate Review seems very special, as this John C. Wright essay on Heinlein and the scourge of political correctness demonstrates. Note that when Wright says

Orson Scott Card publicly expressed the mildest imaginable opposition to having judges overrule popular votes defining marriage in the traditional way.

he is probaly referring to this essay, in which OSC opines

Because when government is the enemy of marriage, then the people who are actually creating successful marriages have no choice but to change governments, by whatever means is made possible or necessary.

I suspect it might be this:

How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn.

Totally mild. Non-violent democratic measures are best described as "bring down and destroy my mortal enemy".

Heh. Why do I suspect that a leftist referring to the US government as "my mortal enemy" would not be considered to be expressing her/his opposition in the mildest manner possible?

Because blatantly counterfactual historical revisionism revises history *towards* your nonsensical prejudices, not away from it.

(I mean, he's not even trying to pretend that any of the real events actually happened. I can't even tell if he doesn't know and can't be bothered to find out, or if he knows and is deliberately lying because he knows nobody who reads ICR is going to care about anything so temporal as "truth")
