I'm sorry if this has been posted in a different thread, but here's a link to stream the live footage of the California Supreme Court Oral Arguments about Prop 8.

The California Supreme Court just finished hearing oral arguments in the case. It's going to take another 90 days til the verdict comes out. I really really really hope that Proposition 8 is struck down. It is an evil "law" that should never have existed in the first place! Especially in a state that was the 2nd to allow same-sex couples to marry, as they should have been able to all along.

Looking like they're going to uphold it. The argument was obviously that the majority can't take away rights from a minority. But the justices seem to be saying that since gay couples still have the same rights and privileges, the only thing not being afforded to them is the label of marriage, which is apparently not reason enough to "go against the will of the people".

But Justices AREN'T supposed to listen to the "will of the people".
