As many of you already probably know, the California Supreme Court has decided to hear challenges to Proposition 8. The judges will order both sides to submit written arguments and will probably begin hearing oral arguments in March. State Attorney General Jerry Brown wisely implemented the proposition but has made no decision about the validity of the almost 18,000 marriages that have taken place between June 16 (when couples could legally marry) and November 4 (when they had that right rescinded.) Personally, I think the delay is a good thing. There are still a lot of raw emotions and this whole issue needs to drop a few degrees in the minds of voters. I am supremely confident this will be overturned by the courts and will eventually die down but we can expect a lot mischief from the usual suspects. In the meantime, stay cool.
