A Truth Hearing For Prop 8

California Supreme Court to Hear Oral Arguments in Prop 8 Legal Challenge on March 5


The California Supreme Court announced today that it will hear oral arguments on Thursday, March 5, 2009 in the Proposition 8 legal challenge.

On November 19, 2008, the California Supreme Court agreed to hear the legal challenges to Proposition 8 and set an expedited schedule. Briefing in the case was completed on January 21, 2009.

Proposition 8 passed by a bare majority of 52 percent on November 4 and eliminated a fundamental right only for same-sex couples. No other initiative has ever successfully changed the California Constitution to take away a right only from a targeted minority group.

We just hope that the reasoned word of truth finally wins out.
