Lead counsel NCLR's Shannon Minter arguing now
Mr. Marshall now arguing on behalf of civil rights organizations throughout CA.
Pam's House Blend http://www.pamshouseblend.com/frontPage.do and GLAAD http://glaadblog.org/2009/03/03/watch-the-courts-prop-8-challenges/ are also following the arguments
http://overturn8.nclrights.org/ Ray Marshall: “For the first time, a ballot initiative has been used to take away a fundamental right from a suspect classification. If left unchallenged, there is no principled difference between being able to take away the rights of gays and lesbians to marry and being able to take any right away from any group.”
Hey Megan! Thanks for the link! It's times like these that I'm proud to be a student at USF School of Law...they set up the conference room here on the 2nd floor of the library with a big projection screen and lots of bagels and coffee so that students could watch today's oral arguments.
These judges are kind of tearing apart the amici counsel...
Thanks for sharing Christy! Keep posting and let us know what people are saying at your law school!
Queerty has a great breakdown of the judges here: http://www.queerty.com/meet-the-court-that-will-decide-the-fate-of-prop-8-20090305/
Teresa Stewart from City and County of SF is now arguing!
Well done Ms. Stewart!
Christopher Krueger from the CA Attorney General’s office is now arguing
willy nilly? What?
Ken Starr is on now, saying that inalienable rights can be taken away. We disagree!
ken starr sounds like adam west.
Who all is tweeting from inside the courtroom? Does anyone have a list?
Go Shannon!!!
Shannon Minter bringing it back, rebutting Starr's argument. Go Shannon!
I could not be more proud of our legal team -- Shannon and Teresa were brilliant. You make us proud. Andrea Shorter
