Proposition 8 In The Courts

California’s dreadful Proposition 8 was approved by voters back on November 4, 2008. It restricted the definition of marriage to opposite sex couples and overturned the right of same sex couples’ to marry in civil ceremonies in California.

Today, the California Supreme Court heard opposing arguments on Proposition 8. The court has 90 days to rule. Rachel Maddow has a very clear explanation of those arguments and the implications of the eventual ruling.
