PROP 8 RULING TOMORROW!!
Last edited Mon Feb 6, 2012, 01:49 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals expects to release an opinion Tuesday on the consitutionality of Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure regarding same-sex marriage in California.

The three-judge panel heard arguments on whether the decision to strike down Prop 8 should be overturned because the justice overseeing the initial ruling failed to recuse himself or disclose he was in a gay relationship. A summary of the opinion regarding the case Perry v. Brown will be prepared by court staff and will be posted along with the opinion sometime after 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Proposition 8 passed in the November 2008 state elections, adding a new provision to the California Constitution, which provides that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

Ladies and gentlemen this is what totalitarian government do and kalifornia is leading the nation to third world status. It is going to be a glorious future komrades, GLORIOUS!!!
