Prop 8 On Trial in California




Good report at Hullabaloo.

There are three questions at play:

• Is Proposition 8 invalid because it constitutes a revision of, rather than an amendment to, the California Constitution?

• Does Proposition 8 violate the separation of powers doctrine under the California Constitution?

• If Proposition 8 is not unconstitutional, what is its effect, if any, on the marriages of same-sex couples performed before the adoption of Proposition 8?

Oral arguments are in progress this morning.
