This Tuesday....
May. 22nd, 2009 11:19 pmThe California Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of Prop 8.
Either they will find that Prop 8 was a legal amendment to the California state constitution, or that it was illegal as it should have been a revision of the constitution, and should have required a different process for passage.
They will also determine the status of the roughly 18,000 gay marriages that took place in California during the period of time that they were allowed. All of the justices seemed to indicate support that those marriages will not be annulled, but it seems unlikely that they will reverse Prop 8.
