In other news...
The hearing for Prop 8 has started today in CA.
The state Supreme Court will be hearing arguments that can be summed up thusly:
Anti-8: Taking away the rights of a protected class of people by majority vote constitutes a revision of the CA constitution and therefore would have to be passed by legislature.
Pro-8: Those 18,000 marriages that were performed before the passing of Prop 8 are illegal after the fact and must be declared invalid.
After arguments are done, the court has 90 days to render a decision.
I feel like I'm on a roller coaster that wont stop.
