California AG Asks Court to Overturn Prop 8

HeadlineDec 22, 2008

In California, State Attorney General Jerry Brown has asked the California Supreme Court to overturn Proposition 8, saying the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage violates basic rights guaranteed in the state Constitution. Brown said the authors of the state Constitution did not intend to “put a group’s right to enjoy liberty to a popular vote.” Meanwhile, the sponsors of Proposition 8 have asked the California Supreme Court to nullify the marriages of the estimated 18,000 same-sex couples who exchanged vows before voters approved the ballot initiative that outlawed gay unions.
